Really interesting article about a 35 year study in PNAS showing in forests with oak trees, more acorns = more mice the following year, and more nymphal ticks the year after that. Acorn masting could predict Lyme disease 2 years later. Science is so cool! www.medicaldaily.com/acorn-crops-...

Thirty-Five Years of Forest Data Suggest Acorn Crops Predict Lyme Risk Better Than Deer Counts Do
A 35-year study found that deer numbers did not predict tick density in one forest. Acorns and mice did. What does it mean for tick prevention?
