  "term": "Iteroparous species",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A species that reproduces multiple times over the course of its lifespan, rather than a single reproductive event. Organisms exhibiting this reproductive strategy typically invest less energy in each reproductive episode but have a longer reproductive period. Many mammals, birds, and perennial plants are examples of iteroparous species.",
