The number of a male's females is limited and males do assist them in rearing their broods.
From 8 broods started with single females, 5 developed normally and gave 71 sandflies and 36 larvae hibernated.
Apart from the series of broods described above, two more series were put up.
The chicks are fully grown after about 3 months, when broods begin to break up.
Using the same criteria as for experimental broods, 13 and 6 pairs of control broods were available for analysis in 1993 and 1994, respectively.
Apparent aggregation among random individuals in random broods fell 8-fold when spatial and temporal effects had been accounted for.
However, 4 of 9 broods oviposited by such ovaries were noticeably smaller than normal clutches for an uninfected female of a similar size.
Locations where broods were caught were an approximate indication only of where chicks might have picked up their ticks.
He brooded over what he had written before submitting it for publication.
In such broods larvae are found whose development is arrested over a relatively long period.
The average duration of development calculated for all broods was 51 -5 days, considerably longer than in summer (36 to 40 days).
In the other broods either all the larvae developed actively or 1 to 3 larvae remained hibernating.
There is always a certain number of resting larvae (2 to 12 per cent.) throughout the summer in otherwise active broods.
Also, broods moved around such that ' location ' and ' altitude ' were approximations only of where chicks picked up ticks.
We therefore recorded a brood's location and altitude as at the nearest intersection of a 100 m grid.
