Fig. 6

Connecting movement and dispersal. a The proportion of individuals that were in immediate proximity of a host, as a function of spatial position and at three different times: 15 min, 180 min and 380 min. Dots are sample proportions in bins of 10 cm. The continuous curve is the smoothed trend modelled as a general additive model. b The predicted proportion of individuals that were explorers at a given place and time. Predictions come from the mixture model fits shown in Figs. 3 and 4. c The time at which hosts were first discovered, as a function of their spatial location (distance from centre). Each dot is a host. The continuous curve is the smoothed trend modelled with a general additive model. Dots were coloured depending on whether they were most likely to have been discovered by an explorer individual (orange) or a resident individual (blue). Assignations were made using the predicted relative frequencies shown in b (see Additional file 1: Section 3). Hosts shown in grey cannot be robustly assigned because they were discovered during the latency phase. d The probability that a host was parasitized as a function of the total visit time (cumulated time individuals have spent on it). Each dot is one host. The red broken line represents average proportions, and the continuous curve is the smoothed trend modelled as a general additive model. In this figure, the Diffuse hosts treatment was used
