| sex ratios of the tick ixodes arboricola are strongly female-biased, but there are no indications of sex-distorting bacteria. | studies on sex ratio are of fundamental importance for understanding the biology of populations and biological control of pests and pathogens. in most ixodes tick species, only females feed in the adult stage and, hence, contribute to pathogen transmission. the tree-hole tick ixodes arboricola infests cavity-nesting birds and has limited dispersal possibilities. it plays an important role in the maintenance of zoonotic disease cycles. here, we quantified the sex ratio of 718 adult i. arboricola ... | 2017 | 29150322 |
