Name that Text Structure: This has been the worst summer in years for acorn production in northeastern forests.  While some may think this is not a big deal, in fact it is.  If there are fewer acorns, it may result in a decrease in populations of squirrels and field mice.  Since these animals are often hosts to insects, including ticks, the ticks will be on the move and more likely to bite humans.  As a result, we can expect to see an increase in the number of cases of Lyme Disease.
