Data for "Their Young Bite Better: On- and Off-host Selection Pressure as Drivers for Evolutionary-Developmental Modification in Rhipicephalus ticks"

This work integrates quantitative morphology of basis capituli (geometric morphometrics), host-use strategy and molecular lines of evidence in a developmental context to better understand Rhipicephalus evolution.

本研究将假头基（basis capituli）的定量形态学（几何形态测量学，geometric morphometrics）、宿主利用策略与分子证据链纳入发育背景下的整合分析，以期更深入地阐明扇头蜱属（Rhipicephalus）的演化历程。
