Phenology and habitat associations of the invasive Asian longhorned tick from Ohio, USA
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 314-324, September 2024.Asian longhorned tick (ALT) nymphs emerged in June, followed by adults, and concluded with larvae in fall. Potential differences in phenology were identified between Ohio and Eastern Coast US states. ALTs were detected in all habitat types including grassland, forest and edge, but not on wildlife hosts, including small‐ and medium‐sized mammals and ...

Linking weather conditions and winter tick abundance in moose
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 88, Issue 3, April 2024.Over the last decades, the number of moose infested by winter ticks has increased in eastern Canada, possibly because milder climatic conditions are increasing winter tick survival. Our main objective was to determine which meteorological variables are more likely to influence winter tick load on moose.

Overcoming biodiversity blindness: Secondary data in primary citizen science observations
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 5, Issue 1, January–March 2024.Multimedia data collected through citizen science, such as photographs of observed species, can provide additional information beyond the primary data of species name, location and date. This unintentionally captured secondary data may represent characteristics of individuals or populations, biotic interactions (including human–nature interactions ...
