Abstract
En 中文
• Structural complexity of forests indirectly increases tick burden on great tits. • Higher forest complexity correlates with increased density of questing nymphs. • Great tits with better physiological condition have higher tick infestations. • Balance biodiversity goals with managing disease risks in forest management. • Ecological and physiological perspectives improve understanding of disease dynamics.
