Elemental Enrichment of the Exoskeleton in Three Species of Tick (Arachnida: Ixodidae)

Three species of adult hard tick (Ixodidae) were examined with scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to obtain elemental profiles of their exoskeletons and determine the presence of trace elements. The scutum, tarsal claws, chelicerae, and hypostome were examined on femal...
