Abstract The population dynamics and life histories of macroparasites are fundamental to examine their impacts on hosts and ecosystems. Still, macroparasite population models often ignore parasite individual heterogeneity and are rarely applied to parasitic plants, where demographic strategies are less well understood. Using a 10-year dataset on European mistletoe (Viscum album), we examine how this macroparasites traits influence its performance. V.
