[Phenotype structure and its dynamics at different stages of the reproductive period of Proteocephalus osculatus (Cestoda: Proteocephalidae)--a parasite of catfish (Silurus glanis L.)].
Discrete variability of four P. osculatus characteristics descriptive of cestodes' major functional complexes: attachment and trophic-reproduction, was determined. Phenotypic diversity of P. osculatus from 2 samples collected at different stages of the population reproductive period was analysed. Unequal adaptation of phenotypes to the ambient conditions was hypothesised.
