Semelparity is a reproductive strategy where an organism reproduces only once in its lifetime. This strategy is often seen in species that produce a large number of offspring at a single event, maximizing the chances of survival for some young despite high risks during that reproductive event. It contrasts with iteroparity, where organisms reproduce multiple times throughout their lives, and reflects different life history strategies adapted to varying environmental conditions.
congrats on reading the definition of semelparity. now let's actually learn it.
