[Some aspects of intraspecific variability of the closely related species of the Dermacentor marginatus complex (Acari: Ixodidae) as demonstration of microevolutionary process].

Abstract excerpt

Individual and geographical variability of male conscutum pattern in five closely related species of the Dermacentor marginatus complex (D. marginatus, D. ushakovae, D. niveus, D. silvarum, D. nuttalli) has been examined. The pattern has been examined in three to six geographical samples within each specific distribution range. It was established that the pattern of the conscutum central area is subjected to...
