Fecundity

Fecundity is the physiological maximum potential reproductive output of an individual over its lifetime and represents one of the major cornerstones of theoretical and applied population biology. Fertility, a related concept, is defined as the current reproductive performance of an individual. Many strategies have evolved to shape patterns in fecundity so that lifetime reproductive success is maximized under the evolutionary selective pressures experienced by an organism. Fecundity is an important component of both sexual and asexual reproduction.
