Total count (mean + /- SE) of field-collected ticks sampled by site, stage, species, and life stage at seven site clusters and 28 sites capturing open grasslands and three stages of intensifying eastern redcedar encroachment (respectively labelled in the table as open grasslands, early ERC, moderate ERC, and mature ERC) across central and western Oklahoma, USA, July 2022-June 2024.

• Comparison of height and horizontal percent cover of eastern redcedar (ERC) trees in sites capturing open grasslands and three stages of intensifying ERC encroachment (referred to as early, moderate, and mature ERC encroachment sites here and in the text). For grasslands, no measurements of trees were taken because grassland sites contained no trees and therefore height and cover values were inferred to be 0. Horizontal lines in boxes indicate median values, boxes indicate interquartile ranges, and lines and whiskers indicate 95% confidence intervals.
