Figure 5From: Density related effects on lifetime fecundity of Heterakis gallinarum in chickensRelationships between lifetime fecundity and percentage of male worms (a), and s ex independent absolute deviation from the theoretically expected sex-ratio (|sex ratio - 50%|) (b) in infrapopulations below (●) or above (○) the parasite intensity threshold (52 worms) determined by segmented regression (see Figures 2, 3 and 4). Correlation coefficients (r) were calculated for pooled data (● + ○; N = 39).Back to article page
