Fig. 2

A conceptual figure of the dispersal potential for ticks that is offered by one typical red deer (95 % kernel covering 232 ha) and one typical rodent (blue circle). The isoclines depict kernel values for the red deer, from a 10 % kernel value in the innermost circle, to a 95 % kernel in the outermost circle, using 5 % intervals for each isocline. The data outside the 95 % isocline were given 100 % as the kernel value. The small drawing of a vole inside the 10 % kernel covers approximately one large mouse home range, ~ 0.5 ha. The red circles illustrate the twelve tick survey plots along one transect
