Spatial patterns in colony-level Arsenophonus sp. load. (a) Arsenophonus sp. loads are positively spatially autocorrelated, indicated by significantly positive Moran’s I tests for a variety of definitions of neighbors (k = 1–4 nearest neighbors). (b) Colony-level Arsenophonus sp. load is predicted by the proximity to feral honeybee hives in 2016. All “None” colonies were at the KK site, while “Low” and “High” honeybee colonies were at the HP site. Honeybee hives were not searched for in 2017. Violin plots produced in ggplot2. For map of Arsenophonus sp. load and honeybee hives, see Supplementary Figure S5. * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01; *** indicates p < 0.001.
