Figure 3
Temporal dynamics of tick populations and selected stages at steady state for historical temperature, 3°C above historical, and 6°C above historical. (a) Seasonal pattern of questing larvae (L2), (b) questing nymphs (NU2 + NI2), (c) adults (AU2 + AI2), and (d) infected nymphs (NI2) per km2. The time axis represents the final year of the run from Jan 1 to Dec 31. Note the difference in scale of the four panels.
