“…Interestingly, data on a closely related species, I. scapularis (dammini) in New Jersey, USA, where air temperatures exceed 26 1C for 50-60 days of the year, show a very similar pattern of tick activity to the predicted scenario for I. ricinus (Schulze et al, 1985(Schulze et al, , 1986. Most larval activity occurs in midsummer, most After Gardiner and Gray (1986). nymphal activity occurs in the spring, and adult activity commences in the autumn and continues into spring with a temporary diminution in the colder months of winter.…”

“…The study was conducted at Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle), a secured military facility located in central Monmouth County, NJ, where both I. scapularis and A. americanum are consistently abundant (Schulze et al 1986, Schulze andJordan 1996). To monitor the diurnal questing behavior of I. scapularis and A. americanum adults, we established three 100-m transects in a 2-ha section of a mixed hardwood/pine forest.…”

The diurnal questing behavior of adult Ixodes scapularis Say and Amblyomma americanum (L.) were monitored in the field to determine whether ticks would be collected with greater frequency during certain times of the day and under certain ambient meteorological conditions. Temperature and relative humidity explained a significant amount of the total variation in tick collections. Although both species were collected during every period, I. scapularis adults tended to quest earlier and later in the day when temperatures were lower and relative humidity higher, whereas A. americanum were collected with greater frequency in late morning and early afternoon during periods of higher temperatures and lower humidity. Questing of I. scapularis adults was observed at temperatures as low as -0.6 degrees C, whereas no adult A. americanum were collected below 4.4 degrees C. The questing temperature threshold for I. scapularis adults observed in this study was below that reported previously. The implications of these temporal activity patterns on the assessment of disease transmission risk and sampling bias are also discussed.

“…Two sites were selected for study. Naval Weapons Station Earle (NWS Earle) is located in central Monmouth County, an area long known to be hyperendemic for Lyme disease (Bowen et al 1984) and where I. scapularis is abundant (Schulze et al 1986). The 5-ha NWS Earle study site consisted of mixed hardwood-pine forest (hardwoods comprising Ͻ50% of dominant and codominant trees), a habitat type that consistently yields large numbers of ticks (Schulze and Jordan 1996).…”

Effects of an Application of Granular Carbaryl on Nontarget Forest Floor Arthropods

We evaluated the effects of a single application of granular carbaryl made against nymphal Ixodes scapularis Say on the diversity and abundance of forest arthropods taken in pitfall traps in oak and mixed oak-pine forest sites for 12 wk after treatment in central New Jersey. Significant short-term changes in arthropod assemblages were detected immediately posttreatment. Effects were not distributed equally across taxa. Seasonal changes in numbers and diversity of forest arthropods in the study areas may have affected the impact of the acaricide in the treatment area. Comparison with control areas indicated that reductions in abundance of some arthropod taxa in the treatment area were detectable 12 wk after treatment.
