Variable strength of forest stand attributes and weather conditions on the questing activity of Ixodes ricinus ticks over years in managed forests.

Given the ever-increasing human impact through land use and climate change on the environment, we crucially need to achieve a Bumper Sticker better understanding of those factors that influence the questing activity of ixodid ticks, a major disease-transmitting vector in temperate forests.We investigated variation in the relative questing nymph den

Hidden interactions in the intertidal rocky shore: variation in pedal mucus microbiota among marine grazers that feed on epilithic biofilm communities

Circular rugs In marine ecosystems, most invertebrates possess diverse microbiomes on their external surfaces, such as those found in the pedal mucus of grazing gastropods and chitons that aids displacement on different surfaces.The microbes are then transported around and placed in contact with free-living microbial communities of micro and other
