Fig. 1. Males (blue nodes/puma silhouettes) were dominant in
the FIVpco transmission network in the treatment region
(a) whereas females (pink nodes/puma silhouettes) were more central in
the transmission network in the stable region (b). Nodes connected to
each other via edges indicate the probability of transmission in either
direction. Node size in the networks (left) is scaled based on the
number of edges estimated for each individual. Edge width is scaled
according to the probability of the transmission events, where wider
edges indicate a more likely transmission event (see Fig. S1).
R0 estimates (with 95% highest posterior density (HPD))
are based on the stochastic branching epidemiological model underlying
each transmission network (see Materials & Methods ,
(Didelot et
al. 2017)). Transmission trees (right) show these putative transmission
events through time with branch color indicating how many missing edges
are likely between individuals. Orange: lag 1 period from the start of
the no-hunting period when males are recruited into the study area and
lag 2 period at the start of the hunting period until the population
declines; yellow: hunting pressure relieved; red: hunting pressure
resumed; grey: stable region. White nodes: unsampled individuals
estimate by the model. I: individuals that were likely immigrants in
this region based on (Trumbo et al. 2019). See Figure S2 for the
FIVpco generation time distributions for each region and
Figure S3 for the estimate of missing cases across years
