Rarefaction analysis of urban and rural assemblages.
<p>Data used for this analysis excludes taxa that are rare in the urban assemblages and indicate abandonment/intrusion (<i>Meriones</i>, <i>Microtus</i>, <i>Spalax</i>, <i>Gerbillus</i>). NISP is the number of identified specimens.</p
Correspondence analysis of taxonomic composition in assemblages from urban and rural sites.
<p>Analysis is based on the frequency data in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0091795#pone-0091795-t002" target="_blank">Table 2</a>. (A) Comparison of assemblages from urban (green triangles), rural (orange diamonds), and unclassified (asterisks) contexts. (B) Comparison of urban and proxy assemblages (purple squares).</p
Contrast between a large-scale mound site and a single-period small-scale settlement.
<p>Tel Megiddo has a history of thousands of years of dense urban occupation (above; photographed by Skyview and the Megiddo Expedition) whereas Khirbet ed-Dawwara is a single-period small-scale settlement with shallow accumulation above the natural hill topography (below; photographed by I. Finkelstein). The original rocky surface of Khirbet ed-Dawara can be glimpsed in the excavation area only slightly below the present-day surface and in the surrounding hilly landscape. This site is a fortified rural settlement situated in the Jerusalem area and dated to the Iron Age IIA period at the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.</p

Observed and expected taxonomic richness (number of taxa) in urban and rural sites.
<p>Expected richness is based on modern distributions of species modeled with GIS. Distribution map of taxonomic richness for the taxa included in this study, based on maps in Mendelssohn and Yom-Tov <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0091795#pone.0091795-Mendelssohn2" target="_blank">[62]</a> is shown on right. Darker shades in the map indicate higher numbers of taxa.</p
Taxonomic frequencies based on NISP data, focusing on samples from discrete occupational phases in urban and rural sites and three proxy assemblages.

Pearson and lag correlation coefficients (mean, minimum, and maximum) for weekly average temperatures and dates of WNF case onset at selected European/neighboring stations, 2010.
<p>Note: Bold values = significant results at p<0.05.</p
Cumulative numbers of reported WNV cases in humans and horses (all countries) during spring and summer 2010 (artificial week 10 is from 3 May to 9 May).
