A fitness component. The number of births or eggs per individual of a given genotype.
The capacity to produce or propagate abundantly.
The number of eggs produced per female per unit time, often: per spawning season.
The number of eggs that a female of a species can produce during her lifetime; contrast with fertility.
The number of eggs, or seeds, or generally offspring in the first stage of the life cycle, produced by an individual.
The potential of an organism to produce offspring (measured as a number of gametes).
the number of gametes or offspring produced by an individual (usually calculated for females).
The total number of eggs produced by a female fish.
The capacity to produce offspring; the rate of offspring production.
number of eggs or offspring produced; an expression of reproductive potential
The number of offspring produced per unit of time per individual of any given age. Also referred to as "birth rate," maternity rate" or "fertility."
number of offspring produced over a set time
The physical ability to reproduce.
the fertility of an organism.
the state of being fertile; capable of producing offspring
The average number of delivered offspring
Also called fertility. It is a measure of how many offspring an organism (or a female in a species where there are separate sexes) could produce. In humans, it is measured as the number of births per 1000 women of child-bearing age per year.
fee-KUN-dit-ee The number of offspring an individual produces. 842
The number of and viability of a species offspring.
fertility; number and size of eggs (in fish).
The number of offspring produced by an individual in a unit of time. Often expressed as number of female offspring per female parent.
the potential reproductive capacity of an organism; reproductive fertility
The physiological capacity of a woman or man to reproduce. This capacity may or may not lead to fertility (live births).
potential fertility or the capability of repeated fertilization; specifically refers to the quantity of gametes produced per individual over a period of time
fertile, productive, prolific.
Efficiency of an individual in production of young. Animals that bring forth young frequently, regularly, and, in case of those that bear more than one offspring at a birth, in large numbers, are said to be fecund.
The reproductive capacity of an individual female animal, generally expressed as the number of eggs or larvae per unit weight or per individual.
A measurement of the egg-producing ability of a fish. Fecundity may change with the age and size of the fish.
Ability for regular reproduction in an animal (a measure of fertility).
Also referred to as "birth rate," maternity rate" or "fertility." It is 1) the number of offspring produced per unit of time per individual of any given age, or 2) the percent of females in an age class that are pregnant or lactating.
potential reproductive capacity of an organism or population expressed in number of eggs (fertile or not) produced during each reproductive cycle.
The number of eggs produced per female per unit of time, a measure of reproductive effort.
The number of eggs produced by a mature female.
Number of eggs an animal produces each reproductive cycle; the potential capacity of an organism or population.
The physiological capacity of a woman to produce a child.
The power of a species to multiply rapidly; its capacity to form reproductive elements.
Fecundity, derived from the word fecund, generally refers to the ability to reproduce. In biology and demography, fecundity is the potential reproductive capacity of an organism or population, measured by the number of gametes (eggs), seed set or asexual propagules. Fecundity is under both genetic and environmental control, and is the major measure of fitness.
