Rhipicephalus sanguineus (n = 50) were measured twice at 2- and 6-mo postadult emergence. The number of encounters with a simulated predator required to elicit TI (A), body mass (B), and duration of TI (C) at 2-mo postfeeding and after emergence (unstarved) and again at 6-mo postfeeding and after emergence (starved) are indicated by boxplots. P values indicate statistical significance.
