Influence of Meso- and Microscale Habitat Structure on Focal Distribution of Sympatric Ixodes scapularis and Amblyomma americanum (Acari: Ixodidae)

We compared the distribution of sympatric Ixodes scapularis Say and Amblyomma americanum (L.) within several suitable forested habitats at different spatial scales and characterized differences in microhabitat features accounting for the observed distribution of questing ticks. We used automatic dat...
