Display of variability of bilateral features in taiga ticks in contrast conditions of habitation

The current research is aimed at studying the changes in a ratio of symmetrical to asymmetrical forms based on the counting bilateral characters in Ixodes persulcatus samples in various living conditions. Phenotypic variation was described with the following indices: (of) for a dispersion of the num...
