Assortative pairing in Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae), the European vector of Lyme borreliosis.

Journal of medical entomology - 1 May 2009

Abstract excerpt

In sexual organisms, the way in which gametes associate can greatly influence the maintenance of genetic variation, the structure of this variation in space, and ultimately organismal evolution. Based on patterns of genetic structure previously found, we explicitly tested whether adults of the sheep tick Ixodes ricinus pair according to their genetic relatedness. We sampled tick pairs from the vegetation in four...
