Revisiting density-dependent fecundity in schistosomes using sibship reconstruction.
The stability of parasite populations is regulated by density-dependent processes occurring at different stages of their life cycle. In dioecious helminth infections, density-dependent fecundity is one such regulatory process that describes the reduction in egg production by female worms in high wor...
