Winter tick sharing between ungulates in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and implications for apparent competition by Troy Koser, Alynn Martin, Alyson Courtemanch, Laura Thompson, Benjamin Wise, Gary Fralick, Sarah Dewey, Amy Girard, Brandon Scurlock, Jared Rogerson, Kennan Oyen, Paul Cross

“…Despite the clinical signs of high winter tick infestations being most apparent on moose, elk may be critical drivers of winter tick population dynamics and indirectly compete with moose in areas where they outnumber moose populations, a common characteristic of ungulate communities in western North America. Management interventions aimed at addressing winter tick issues on moose may wish to consider the movement patterns and abundance of cryptic reservoirs like elk.…”
