Development rates and feeding rates of I. scapularis ticks within one year period. The blue solid and red dashed curves are related to the associated development rates and feeding rates under temperatures in the periods 1961−1990 and 1981−2010, respectively; The numbers at the left top corner in each subfigure indicate the areas under the associated curves, which are used to differentiate the differences of these rates under the two temperature settings.
