Beech tree masting explains the inter-annual variation in the fall and spring peaks of <i>Ixodes ricinus</i> ticks with different time lags

2021-04-21

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>Background</h4> The tick Ixodes ricinus is an important vector of tick-borne diseases including Lyme borreliosis. In continental Europe, the nymphal stage of I. ricinus often has a bimodal phenology with a large spring/early summer peak and a smaller fall peak. While there is consensus about the origin of the spring nymphal peak, there are two alternative hypotheses for the fall nymphal p...
