The effect of urbanization and landscape configuration on questing Ixodes ricinus presence and abundance measured in 1000m radius buffer zones analyzed in generalized linear mixed zero-inflated models.

Estimated coefficients and significance levels for the explanatory variables from both the conditional (abundance) and zero-inflated (presence/absence) model components are reported for I. ricinus larvae and nymphs. Parameter estimates and significance levels for landscape factors are estimated based on a 1000m radius buffer zone and for local site factors from individual sampling plots. For easier interpretation we have changed the sign of the estimates for the zero-inflated models meaning that a positive coefficient should be interpreted as a higher likelihood for tick presence and vice versa.
