Professor C. Michael Bull was a great scientist and mentor, and an Associate Editor of this journal. While his research career spanned the fields of behavioural ecology, conservation biology and herpetology, in this article, we pay tribute to his major contribution to Australian parasitology. Mike authored more than eighty articles on host-parasite ecology, and revealed major insights into the biology and ecology of ticks from his long term study of the parapatric boundary of two tick species ( and ) on the sleepy lizard (). In this article, we provide an overview of how this research journey developed to become one of the longest-running studies of lizards and their ticks, totalling 35 years of continuous surveys of ticks on lizards, and the insights and knowledge that he generated along that journey.
C. 迈克尔·布尔教授是一位伟大的科学家和导师，也是本期刊的副主编。他的研究生涯涵盖行为生态学、保护生物学和爬虫学领域，在本文中，我们缅怀他对澳大利亚寄生虫学的重大贡献。迈克撰写了80多篇关于宿主 - 寄生虫生态学的文章，通过对瞌睡蜥蜴上两种蜱虫（和）的邻域边界进行长期研究，他揭示了蜱虫生物学和生态学的重要见解。在本文中，我们概述了这一研究历程是如何发展成为对蜥蜴及其蜱虫进行的持续时间最长的研究之一的，该研究对蜥蜴身上的蜱虫进行了长达35年的连续调查，以及他在这一历程中所获得的见解和知识。
