"May natural parasite infection affect the reproduction success of European bitterling?"@en . "Ondra\u010Dkov\u00E1, Mark\u00E9ta" . "P(KJB600930802)" . "Parasites may affect their host reproduction in many ways. We investigated reproduction success during one reproductive season of naturally infected European bitterling. Fish reproduction success was measured as total (total number or sired offspring during the reproductive season of particular fish) and relative (proportion of offspring among parents within particular treatment). The intensity of parasite infection was negatively correlated with both the total and relative reproductive success in territorial males, whilst no association between parasite infection and number of offspring was found in subordinate males. The female reproductive success indicated a trend of preference for territorial males in more infected females, suggesting their tendency to decreased female choice."@en .
