    Abstract Adaptive radiations are generated through a complex interplay of biotic and abiotic factors. Although adaptive radiations have been widely studied in the context of animal and plant evolution, little is known about how they impact the evolution of the viruses that infect these hosts, which in turn may provide insights into the drivers of cross-species transmission and hence disease emergence. We examined how the rapid adaptive radiation of the cichlid fishes of African Lake Tanganyika over the last 10 million years has shaped the diversity and evolution of the viruses they carry. Through metatranscriptomic analysis of 2,242 RNA sequencing libraries, we identified 121 vertebrate-associated viruses among various tissue types that fell into 13 RNA and 4 DNA virus groups. Host-switching was commonplace, particularly within the Astroviridae, Metahepadnavirus, Nackednavirus, Picornaviridae, and Hepacivirus groups, occurring more frequently than in other fish communities. A time-calibrated phylogeny revealed that hepacivirus diversification was not constant throughout the cichlid radiation but accelerated 2-3 million years ago, coinciding with a period of rapid cichlid diversification and niche packing in Lake Tanganyika, thereby providing more closely related hosts for viral infection. These data depict a dynamic virus ecosystem within the cichlids of Lake Tanganyika, characterized by rapid virus diversification and frequent host jumping, and likely reflecting their close phylogenetic relationships that lower the barriers to cross-species virus transmission.

    Abstract Although Australian marsupials are characterised by unique biology and geographic isolation, little is known about the viruses present in these iconic wildlife species. The Dasyuromorphia are an order of marsupial carnivores found only in Australia that include both the extinct Tasmanian tiger (thylacine) and the highly threatened Tasmanian devil. Several other members of the order are similarly under threat of extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, disease, and competition and predation by introduced species such as feral cats. We utilised publicly available RNA-seq data from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database to document the viral diversity within four Dasyuromorph species. Accordingly, we identified fifteen novel virus sequences from five DNA virus families (Adenoviridae, Anelloviridae, Gammaherpesvirinae, Papillomaviridae, and Polyomaviridae) and three RNA virus taxa: the order Jingchuvirales, the genus

    Abstract Australia is home to a diverse range of unique native fauna and flora. To address whether Australian ecosystems also harbour unique viruses, we performed meta-transcriptomic sequencing of 16 farmland and sediment samples taken from the east and west coasts of Australia. We identified 2460 putatively novel RNA viruses across 18 orders, the vast majority of which belonged to the microbe-associated phylum Lenarviricota. In many orders, such as the Nodamuvirales and Ghabrivirales, the novel viruses identified here comprised entirely new clades. Novel viruses also fell between established genera or families, such as in the Cystoviridae and Picornavirales, while highly divergent lineages were identified in the Sobelivirales and Ghabrivirales. Viral read abundance and alpha diversity were influenced by sampling site, soil type and land use, but not by depth from the surface. In sum, Australian soils and sediments are home to remarkable viral diversity, reflecting the biodiversity of local fauna and flora.

    Abstract Our current understanding of plant viruses stems largely from those affecting economically important plants. Yet plant species in cultivation represent a small and biased subset of the plant kingdom. Here, we describe virus diversity and abundance in 1,079 transcriptomes from species across the breadth of the plant kingdom (Archaeplastida) by analyzing open-source data from the 1000 Plant Transcriptomes Initiative (1KP). We identified 104 potentially novel viruses, of which 40% were single-stranded positive-sense RNA viruses across eight orders, including members of the

    Abstract The Great Barrier Reef (GBR)-the largest coral reef ecosystem in the world-supports over 1,200 fish species with some of the highest population densities and diversities observed in vertebrates, offering a high potential for virus transmission among species. As such, the GBR represents an exceptional natural ecosystem to determine the impact of host community diversity on virus evolution and emergence. In recent decades, the GBR has also experienced significant threats of extinction, making it one of the most vulnerable ecosystems on the planet. Despite the global importance of the GBR, our understanding of virus diversity and connectivity in tropical reef fishes remains poor. Here, we employed metatranscriptomic sequencing to reveal the viromes of sixty-one reef fish species. This identified transcripts representing 132 putative viral sequences, 38 of which exhibited strong phylogenetic relationships with known vertebrate-associated viral genera, including a novel

    Abstract The emergence of previously unknown disease-causing viruses in mammals is in part the result of a long-term evolutionary process. Reconstructing the deep phylogenetic histories of viruses helps identify major evolutionary transitions and contextualizes the emergence of viruses in new hosts.

    Abstract Revealing the determinants of virome composition is central to placing disease emergence in a broader evolutionary context. Fish are the most species-rich group of vertebrates and so provide an ideal model system to study the factors that shape virome compositions and their evolution. We characterized the viromes of nineteen wild-caught species of marine fish using total RNA sequencing (meta-transcriptomics) combined with analyses of sequence and protein structural homology to identify divergent viruses that often evade characterization. From this, we identified twenty-five new vertebrate-associated viruses and a further twenty-two viruses likely associated with fish diet or their microbiomes. The vertebrate-associated viruses identified here included the first fish virus in the
