For example, there are many different kinds of MPAs in U.S. waters including national parks, wildlife refuges, monuments and marine sanctuaries, fisheries closures, critical habitat, habitat areas of particular concern, state parks, conservation areas, estuarine reserves and preserves, and numerous others.
Some 30 species of ticks occur in Colorado. Table 1 lists the more common ones. Hard-shelled ticks (Ixodidae family) predominate and are represented by such familiar species as the Rocky Mountain wood tick, American dog tick and brown dog tick.
The brown dog tick is found on dogs and around peopleâs homes. Almost all of the cases occurred within communities with a large number of free-roaming dogs. Itâs important that individuals remember that diseases like Rocky Mountain spotted fever are caused by ticks, not by dogs.
