The identification (ID) of each clonal genotype, sex, host and the number of parental individuals per genotype (n) are given. Clonal individuals share the same ID. Data were analyzed by chi-squared goodness of fit tests for total offspring (Total), offspring derived from fecal material (Fecal), and from the liver (Liver) for each parental genotype. The probability values below 0.1 are given and “NS” indicates no statistical significance. The sample size of offspring in each category is given in parentheses. Deviation indicates whether individuals deviated from expected fecundity in the same direction for both the fecal and liver samples.
