Using tick infestation data on roe deer, we analysed preferred attachment sites and niche width of Ixodes ticks (larvae, nymphs, males, females) and investigated the degree of inter- and intrastadial aggregation. The different development stages showed rather consistent attachment site patterns and relative narrow feeding site niches. Larvae were mostly found on the head and on the front legs of roe deer, nymphs reached highest densities on the head and highest adult densities were found on the neck of roe deer. The tick stages feeding (larvae, nymphs, females) on roe deer showed high degrees of intrastadial spatial aggregation, whereas males did not. Male ticks showed large feeding site overlap with female ticks. Feeding site overlap between larval-female and larval-nymphal ticks did occur especially during the months May-August on the head and front legs of roe deer and might allow pathogen transmission via co-feeding. Tick density, niche width and niche overlap on roe deer are mainly affected by seasonality, reflecting seasonal activity and abundance patterns of ticks. Since different tick development stages occur spatially and temporally clustered on roe deer, transmission experiments of tick-borne pathogens are urgently needed."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) [1363120]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10493-010-9378-4"],["dc.identifier.isi","000284651000009"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20585837"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/5988"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/24378"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1572-9702"],["dc.relation.issn","0168-8162"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Attachment site selection of ticks on roe deer, Capreolus capreolus"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The effects of factor levels on allocation to biomass compartments were analyzed using ANCOVA. As plant allocation patterns are size-dependent, tree size was used as a covariate. In both tree species, growth and biomass allocation to above and belowground plant components were affected by light availability. European beech showed a distinct increase in allocation to leaves, stem and branch biomass at the expense of fine and coarse roots with decreasing light availability. For Norway spruce, only allocation to stem biomass increased and allocation to fine root biomass decreased under low light. To drought a significant increase of the percentage of belowground compartments was found for European beech but not for Norway spruce. Overall, European beech seedlings were more plastic than Norway spruce seedlings. European beech seedlings appear better able to adjust biomass partitioning to resource availability. In contrast Norway spruce responded languidly. Our results indicate that biomass partitioning is not only driven by ontogeny, and thus tree size, but is environmentally determined to a substantial degree. A possible explanation for this divergence from other results on the role of ontogeny in biomass partitioning may be that seedling plasticity in response to limited resources declines with increasing age and/or time of exposure to the limited resources."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1016/j.foreco.2011.11.017"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146764"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/4563"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","0378-1127"],["dc.title","Biomass allocation to roots and shoots is more sensitive to shade and drought in European beech than in Norway spruce seedlings"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We aimed at providing (1) estimates of life stage and sex specific (larvae, nymphs, males and females, hereafter referred to as tick life stages) total Ixodes burden and (2) equations which can be used to predict the total life stage burden by counting the life stage on a selected body area. Within a period of 1A1/2A years, we conducted whole body counts of ticks from 80 hunter-killed roe deer originating from a beech dominated forest area in central Germany. Averaged over the entire study period (winter 2007-summer 2009), the mean tick burden per roe deer was 64.5 (SE +/- A 10.6). Nymphs were the most numerous tick life stage per roe deer (23.9 +/- A 3.2), followed by females (21.4 +/- A 3.5), larvae (10.8 +/- A 4.2) and males (8.4 +/- A 1.5). The individual tick burden was highly aggregated (k = 0.46); levels of aggregation were highest in larvae (k = 0.08), followed by males (k = 0.40), females (k = 0.49) and nymphs (k = 0.71). To predict total life stage specific burdens based on counts on selected body parts, we provide linear equations. For estimating larvae abundance on the entire roe deer, counts can be restricted to the front legs. Tick counts restricted to the head are sufficient to estimate total nymph burden and counts on the neck are appropriate for estimating adult ticks (females and males). In order to estimate the combined tick burden, tick counts on the head can be used for extrapolation. The presented linear models are highly significant and explain 84.1, 77.3, 90.5, 91.3, and 65.3% (adjusted R (2)) of the observed variance, respectively. Thus, these models offer a robust basis for rapid tick abundance assessment. This can be useful for studies aiming at estimating effects of abiotic and biotic factors on tick abundance, modelling tick population dynamics, modelling tick-borne pathogen transmission dynamics or assessing the efficacy of acaricides."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) [1363120]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10493-010-9341-4"],["dc.identifier.isi","000280596100008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","20204470"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/5009"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/19060"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","0168-8162"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Abundance estimation of Ixodes ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) on roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

To predict Ixodes spp. tick burden on roe deer, we applied Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS) which allow incorporating a variable dispersion. We analysed tick burden of 78 roe deer, sampled in a forest region of Germany over a period of 20 months. Assuming a negative binomial error distribution and controlling for ambient temperature, we analysed whether host sex and body mass affected individual tick burdens. Models for larval and nymphal tick burden included host sex, with male hosts being more heavily infested than female ones. However, the influence of host sex on immature tick burden was associated with wide standard errors (nymphs) or the factor was marginally significant (larvae). Adult tick burden was positively correlated with host body mass. Thus, controlled for host body mass and ambient temperature, there is weak support for sex-biased parasitism in this system. Compared with models which assume linear relationships, GAMLSS provided a better fit. Adding a variable dispersion term improved only one of the four models. Yet, the potential of modelling dispersion as a function of variables appears promising for larger datasets."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) [1363120]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1365-2915.2010.00929.x"],["dc.identifier.isi","000287362900007"],["dc.identifier.pmid","21118286"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/23805"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Wiley-blackwell"],["dc.relation.issn","1365-2915"],["dc.relation.issn","0269-283X"],["dc.title","Body-mass or sex-biased tick parasitism in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus)?
