Sickness behaviour reduces network centrality in wild vampire bats

When we increased the minimum threshold of time defining an association, we observed 166 that the estimate of the treatment effect grew larger, but eventually became smaller and less 167 clear as the number of observations decreased ( Figure 3A ). When only using associations over 168 15 min, the effect became harder to detect. Next, when we increased the minimum proximity 169 index threshold defining an association, we again observed that the treatment effect estimate 170 grew larger but less clear as the number of observations declined ( Figure 3B ). When controlling 171 for the number of observations, the treatment effect was relatively stable across different 172 proximity thresholds ( Figure S2) . 173 174 .
