Fig. 2From: Effect of landscape features on the relationship between Ixodes ricinus ticks and their small mammal hostsAverage of Ixodes ricinus larval burden per rodent species by season. The means with the standard errors of I. ricinus larval burden on wood mice and bank voles in spring and autumn 2012 are shown. Bars with the same letters (a, b and c) are not significantly different from each other (Mann–Whitney tests with p < 0.05). N = number of rodents considered for the analysisBack to article page
