polümorfidel
Polümorfidel is a term used in speculative biology and science-fiction discourse to describe organisms that can assume multiple distinct morphological forms during their life cycle. It denotes a broad form of plasticity that goes beyond conventional metamorphosis, allowing several discrete morphs to be expressed in response to developmental timing, environmental context, or ecological role.
Typical morphs may include a mobile juvenile form, a resource-efficient adult form, a defense-oriented armored morph,
Polümorfidel systems are hypothesized to be controlled by gene regulatory networks, epigenetic switches, and hormonal or
In speculative settings, polümorfidel species occupy diverse niches, enabling rapid adaptation to fluctuating resources or predation
Polümorfidel is not a formal taxonomic group. It is a descriptive umbrella term often used alongside concepts
