  1. “.z” predictors were z-transformed to a mean of zero and a standard deviation of one. Ticks model: response is the number of ticks collected in a sampling site. Temperature: mean temperature measured in  °C from the day of collection. Humidity: the percentage of relative humidity measured in % from the day of collection.
