Ecology and other information.

Ixodes caledonicus is a little studied nidicolous tick species occurring in Europe as well as Western and Middle Asia. In Crimea this species is very rare and never has been found after 1980 ( Nebogatkin 1998). Its hosts are birds that usually nest in rocks, feed on the ground, or feed and drink during flight ( Filippova 1977).
