Ixodes trianguliceps, parasite of insectivores and rodent mammals seems to be distributed throughout France, except in the mediterranean low altitude areas. This tick which does not manifest any parasitic specificty, has meanwhile preferred hosts (Clethrionomys glareolus, especially). At low altitudes, it likes forests, hedge-rows and heaths and at higher altitudes (Subalpine and alpine), opened area may be densely inhabited. The authors study the numerous concerned vegetal associations and precise the tick's phenology, particularly in the Bas-Dauphiné. They also discuss the many hypothesis concerning the still unknown ecology of I. trianguliceps free instars.
三角头硬蜱是食虫动物和啮齿类哺乳动物的寄生虫，似乎分布于法国全境，但地中海低海拔地区除外。这种蜱没有表现出任何寄生特异性，不过有其偏好的宿主（尤其是林姬鼠）。在低海拔地区，它喜欢森林、树篱和石南荒原，而在较高海拔地区（亚高山和高山地区），开阔地带可能有大量蜱虫栖息。作者研究了众多相关的植物群落，并明确了蜱的物候，特别是在多菲内低地地区。他们还讨论了许多关于三角头硬蜱游离若虫仍未知的生态学的假说。
