From: The influence of red deer space use on the distribution of Ixodes ricinus ticks in the landscape
The relationship between questing tick densities and the probability of red deer space use in both study areas. Note that kernel estimates are low in areas that are used more by deer, and we have therefore inverted the x-axis to present increasing space use more intuitively as we move to the right along this axis. The data points represent the residuals from the predicted values. The sizes of the data points are scaled relative to the home range sizes, and show that higher questing tick densities occur when home range sizes decrease
