Appendix 8—figure 2. The best network-based and the worst performing strategies presented in the main text for the Canastra ecosystem are here presented relatively to the null model with equal abundances.

In this null model we consider an ecomultiplex network where all animal groups have equal abundance, that is, occur with equal frequency. The error margins in the plot are the same size of the dots and are based on 500 iterations. Even providing equal abundances to different species does not remove the gap in global infection time that was observed in the main text.
