Comparison between ecologic networks parameters in a study of ecologic, geoclimatic, and genomic factors modulating plague epidemics in primary natural focus, Brazil. Graphs compare nonepidemic years (cases ≤5) with epidemic years (cases >5). A) Host robustness; B) vector robustness; C) modularity; D) connectance, which is used to characterize community-wide specialization; E) nestedness based on overlap and decreasing fill. Cutoff value for epidemic status was defined according to the cluster at the principal component analysis. Mann-Whitney test was used to compare groups. Asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant difference (p<0.05). The lower and upper error bars correspond to the first and third quartiles (the 25th and 75th percentiles). Vertical lines within boxes represent medians.
