Reproductive strategies

1.Semelparity

2.Iteroparity

Semelparity - When organisms reproduce only once during their life

Ex- insects, other invertebrates, and occurs in organisms such as salmon, bamboo grasses, and agave plants

Iteroparity - When organisms reproduce multiple times during their life.

It is common in most vertebrates and perennial plants, such as trees

Type of iteroparity

Seasonal iteroparity- Many species, such as birds or mammals, or temperate forest trees, have distinct breeding seasons Continuous iteroparity- individuals reproduce repeatedly and at any time of the year.
