Today was our second and last day of trapping and also the day of recaps. At Long Tin we had two cotton mice (Peromyscus gossypinus) and an opossum (Didelphis virginianus) and at Dry Bay we had one deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). None had ticks and all were recaps. At Four Mile we caught an anolis (Anolis carolinensis) and a narrow mouth toad (Gastrophryne carolinensis) and at Dry Bay we caught a woodhouse toad (Bufo woodhousei).
All of this data will be used to figure out the life-cycle and tendencies deer ticks in the south, which we don’t know a lot of. Let’s hope our data shows us some useful trends. And I guess that’s it for the summer, I hope you enjoyed my blog and learned a lot.
