Table 1 Microhabitat and habitat effects on tick abundance. Microhabitat conditions in and around each plot were analyzed in generalized linear mixed models with Poisson distribution. The effects from habitat features retrieved from GIS were analyzed in generalized linear mixed models with negative binomial distribution of residuals
