description: Seasonal variation in the duration of grazing days (h d−1) of (a) cattle and (b) goat herds from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), Miarintsoa (MI), and the transhumance cattle herds (C-T). Data are presented for the early dry season (EDS), the late dry season (LDS), and the rainy season (RS). Medians (black lines inside the boxes), interquartile ranges (width of the boxes representing the middle 50% of data), total data ranges (whiskers), and outliers (black dots) are shown. Different letters above and underneath the box plots indicate village differences at p ≤ 0.05 according to Tukey post hoc tests. Figure S2. Seasonal variation in the maximum distance to night enclosures (max_dist, km) of (a) cattle and (b) goat herds from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), Miarintsoa (MI), and the transhumance cattle herds (C-T). Data are presented for the early dry season (EDS), the late dry season (LDS), and the rainy season (RS). Medians (black lines inside the boxes), interquartile ranges (width of the boxes representing the middle 50% of data), total data ranges (whiskers), and outliers (black dots) are shown. Different letters above and underneath the box plots indicate village differences at p ≤ 0.05 according to Tukey post hoc tests. Note the different scaling of Y-axes in a and b. Figure S3. Seasonal variation in the linear distance between the night corral of (a) cattle and (b) goat herds from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), Miarintsoa (MI), and the transhumance cattle herds (C-T) to the nearest visited water point (dist_water, km). Data are presented for the early dry season (EDS), the late dry season (LDS), and the rainy season (RS). Medians (black lines inside the boxes), interquartile ranges (width of the boxes representing the middle 50% of data), total data ranges (whiskers), and outliers (black dots) are shown. Different letters above and underneath the box plots indicate village differences at p ≤ 0.05 according to Tukey post hoc tests. Note the different scaling of Y-axes in a and b. Figure S4. Grazing itineraries of studied cattle herds from Ankilibory between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). Figure S5. Grazing itineraries of studied goat herds from Ankilibory between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). Figure S6. Grazing itineraries of studied cattle herds from Efoetse between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). Figure S7. Grazing itineraries of studied goat herds from Efoetse between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). A temporary medium-distance dislocation of one herd in 2012 is not shown on the map. Figure S8. Grazing itineraries of studied cattle herds from Andremba between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). A temporary medium-distance dislocation of one herd in 2012 is not shown on the map. Figure S9. Grazing itineraries of studied cattle herds from Andremba between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). Figure S10. Grazing tineraries of studied cattle herds from Miarintsoa between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). A temporary ‘inverse’ transhumance movement of one herd in 2012 and in 2013 is not shown on the map. Figure S11. Grazing itineraries of studied goat herds from Miarintsoa between November 2011 and November 2013. Different line colours are used for different seasons (see legend). Figure S12. Grazing itineraries of studied cattle herds from Ankilibory and Efoetse during times of transhumance in 2012 and 2013. Figure S13. Proportion of daily resting time (%) of cattle herds from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), Miarintsoa (MI), and the transhumance cattle herds (C-T) spent on different land cover classes (a) and share of these land cover classes (%) within the grazing utilization zones around the four villages and the transhumance zone of coastal cattle herds (b). Data are shown for the early dry season (EDS), the late dry season (LDS), and the rainy season (RS). Figure S14. Proportion of daily walking time (%) of cattle herds from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), Miarintsoa (MI), and the transhumance cattle herds (C-T) spent on different land cover classes (a) and share of these land cover classes (%) within the grazing utilization zones around the four villages and the transhumance zone of coastal cattle herds (b). Data are shown for the early dry season (EDS), the late dry season (LDS), and the rainy season (RS). Figure S15. Proportion of daily resting time (%) of goat flocks from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), and Miarintsoa (MI) spent on different land cover classes (a) and share of these land cover classes (%) within the grazing utilization zones around the four villages (b). Data are shown for the early dry season (EDS), the late dry season (LDS), and the rainy season (RS). Figure S16. Proportion of daily walking time (%) of goat flocks from Ankilibory (AK), Efoetse (EF), Andremba (AD), and Miarintsoa (MI) spent on different land cover classes (a) and share of these land cover classes (%) within the grazing utilization zones around the four villages (b).
