Lisääntymisstrategia
Lisääntymisstrategia refers to the set of behaviors and physiological adaptations that an organism employs to maximize its reproductive success. This concept is central to evolutionary biology and helps explain the diversity of life on Earth. Organisms have evolved a wide range of strategies to ensure the survival and propagation of their genes, often involving trade-offs between survival, growth, and reproduction.
One fundamental distinction in reproductive strategies is between semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous organisms reproduce only once
Within these broad categories, numerous specific strategies exist. These can relate to mating systems, such as
