Title Trouble

Ok, which of these 2 titles sounds more pretentious?
(1) Proximate factors affecting the larval life history of Acanthocephalus lucii (Acanthocephala): interactions among resources availability, competition, and ontogeny, or (2) Determinants of infection intensity and larval infrapopulation dynamics of Acanthocephalus lucii (Acanthocephala). Any opinions?

Number 2 is more pretentious. I would be more impressed with it even though I wouldn't understand either at first.

They're probably both pretentious. I just haven't decided if I want a more or less pretentious title for this manuscript...
