Alternative climate scenarios. (A) pq(t) heatmap when ticks lose water regardless of behavior: air aV< CEA, litter aV< CEA (Tq= 293 kelvins (K), aVq= 0.8, Tr= 293 K, aVr= 0.8), where aV is water vapor activity; CEA is the critical equilibrium activity; Tq and aVq are the temperature and water vapor activity above the leaf litter, respectively; Trand aVr are the temperature and water vapor activity below the leaf litter, respectively; pq(t) is the proportion of day t spent questing. The strategy is constant for all days except t. (B) pq(t) heatmap when ticks gain water regardless of behavior: air aV> CEA, litter aV> CEA (Tq = 293 K, aVq = 0.9, Tr = 293 K, aVr = 0.9). Day 15 is shown.
