*No data available for 2002.

Number of municipalities with ≥50% of territory originally covered by each eco-region type (i.e., disregarding deforestation or other land-use changes).

#

Summary measures of municipality-level infestation rates across years over the study period.

§

Non-parametric rank-sum tests and Welch Anova (allowing for unequal variances) suggested higher overall infestation rates in these municipalities.

SEM, standard error of the mean; IQR, inter-quartile range.
