#' host-parasite interaction table for simulation
#' 
#' Parasites select hosts for ovipositing (egg-laying) or feeding based on
#' their stage of development. The risk of male offspring depends on stage, as
#' does the initial offspring load for the successfully reared parasite. These
#' tables are internalized via \code{init.simulation}.
