Fig. A1. Posterior sampling distribution of the ratio of dispersion constants (n = 1000 samples of the posterior). Since our distribution is asymmetric we chose not to rely on the normal approximation, and instead calculated the probability that the ratio was larger than 1 (i.e., that site-level dispersion was greater than individual-level dispersion) by counting the number of samples greater than 1 and dividing by 1000.
