Thanks for that link! I'll see if I can find the journal article for this research and get it to you and wolf and whoever else may want it.
The lab I work in actually works with ticks, their ecology and dispersion, and the role their life history plays in vectoring pathogens to humans (and animals). Very interesting stuff. Looking forward to this read!

I saw that too, but since it didn't have a lot of information I was looking for more information for it.

Berkeley media release on the study. Link at the bottom of the page to the PLOS One journal article. It's open access (!), so anyone can download the PDF.
