Again, at the cost of repeating myself. Nope! Weighed and measured, Goober weighed and measured. If not Jewish jokes how about Palestinian jokes? | |||

Your statement could not be further from the truth Jools. There is a huge difference in external parasite burden between the species on the same site with some species having no parasites and others carrying a huge burden. The above is not rocket science Its week one day one of Deer Stalking anyone with a Basic beginners understanding of Cervidae would be able to tell you. | |||

Dave As you would have seen had you bothered to read my post. What I actually posted was the following. There is no difference between deer species in regards to tollerance to biting insects External paristic burden is subject to level of exposure due to habitat occuppied nothing else. I don't rcall ever encountering any free range deer that had the advantage of organophosphorus compounds, synthetic pyrethroids, or DEET. Basic beginners understanding of Cervidae really. | |||

Jools As you have not bothered to either read or understand the above I will try again

Like your claim that collecting shed antlers broke the Deer Act. You say eether and I say eyether, You say neether and I say nyther, Eether, eyether, neether, nyther, Let's call the whole thing off! You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto, Potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto! Let's call the whole thing off! I guess we'll just have to disagree. What does it say in your version of Cervidae 101 Nice bend in that rod. I hope you haven't snagged the bottom again. | |||

The research into most of these issues is in its infancy at best. If you ran some of these statements past the scientists that work in these fields they would wince.

You can say that again. | |||

You mean like I proved collecting shed antlers without permission was contrary to UK statute law (Deer Act 1991) | |||

There have been some pearlers Dave. I particular like the attempts at half-understood scientific language. | |||

Proved ????? When was that?? You offered a unqualifed opinion on the matter. Hardly what anyone would deem "proved". I supose it depends upon which direction your bias runs as to whether you give that opinion any creadance. | |||

I'm afraid all protagonists here are entirely outclassed by the pros: The role of seasonality in the dynamics of deer tick populations. Awerbuch-Friedlander T, Levins R, Predescu M. Source Department of Population Science, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA 02115, USA. Abstract In this paper, we formulate a nonlinear system of difference equations that models the three-stage life cycle of the deer tick over four seasons. We study the effect of seasonality on the stability and oscillatory behavior of the tick population by comparing analytically the seasonal model with a non-seasonal one. The analysis of the models reveals the existence of two equilibrium points. We discuss the necessary and sufficient conditions for local asymptotic stability of the equilibria and analyze the boundedness and oscillatory behavior of the solutions. A main result of the mathematical analysis is that seasonality in the life cycle of the deer tick can have a positive effect, in the sense that it increases the stability of the system. It is also shown that for some combination of parameters within the stability region, perturbations will result in a return to the equilibrium through transient oscillations. The models are used to explore the biological consequences of parameter variations reflecting expected environmental changes.

Dave Thanks. So in broad brush strokes its as I said. | |||

I think a brush that broad is called a Broom and inasmuch as you can't be wrong from that perspective, you can't be right either. You can of course be last and sometimes first too. But you knew that and do that! Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. Sir Winston Churchill | |||

Dave Aye,the devil is in the detail! Broom, brush, besom, vaccum cleaner. It matters not. I was right, thats all that matters. | |||

Thats about as right as saying "We're all going to die". Completely true but almost entirely useless information. Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. Sir Winston Churchill | |||

Its not quite as bad. I'd say it was a kin to "We're all going to die because...............(state how)". Completely true and entirely usefull. Subject to ones views on receiving bad news of course. | |||
