Hybridization in natural sympatric populations of Dermacentor ticks in northwestern North America. [PDF]
Hybridization in ticks has been described in a handful of species and mostly as a result of laboratory experiments. We used 148 AFLP loci to describe putative hybridization events between D. andersoni and D.
