Raw data - experiments A and B

As part of a study on the population dynamics of Dermanyssus gallinae (DeGeer, 1778), the Poultry Red Mite, we conducted two experiments of 7 and 4 weeks respectively in closed mesocosms, part of which was equipped with an electronic tracking system.<br> The two tables available here contain census data from our two count means:<br> - The table title "eye counts" provides the number of mites counted in the mesocosms of experiments A and B at the end of the experiment, with indication of the stages and sexes counted (on a subsample of mites from artificial shelters only)<br> - The table title "electronic counts" provides the number of mites counted IN and OUT in the TR mesocosms per night with chick present during experiment A.
