Unweighted links were assigned between any two macaques that shared an identical strain of E. coli (>90% similarity in pulsotypes) across adjacent sampling events, or within the same sampling event at the end of the corresponding behavioural data collection phase(s). Phases represent the two periods of behavioural data collection. T0, T1 and T2 represent sampling events that flanked behavioural data collection.
