Larvae and nymphs both showed optimum development at between 10 °C and 20°C, which is lower than the optimum temperature for development in many other species of ixodid ticks. However, larvae moulted quicker and survived better when saturation deficits were 1-2mmHg (RH 94%); in comparison, the optimum saturation deficits for nymph development were 1-10mmHg. Our results suggest that the kiwi tick has adapted to the stable, but relatively cool and humid conditions in kiwi burrows, reflecting the evolutionary consequences o
