Meaning of "paedogenetic" in English

"Paedogenetic" is an adjective used in biology to describe a form of reproduction in which sexually mature individuals are produced by larvae or immature forms, without progressing through all typical developmental stages. This mode of reproduction is often observed in some insect species and certain parasitic organisms. "Paedogenetic" refers to the capability of these young stages to reproduce while still in their larval forms, thus bypassing the full life cycle that normally leads from larva to adult and then to the reproduction stage.

Meaning of "pédogénétiques" in French

In French, "pédogénétiques" refers to the same biological phenomenon as in English, describing a form of reproduction where juvenile organisms or larvae reproduce before reaching full maturity. This reproductive strategy allows certain species to rapidly expand their population by allowing their young forms to reproduce directly, without undergoing the complete metamorphic transformation typical in their developmental cycle. It is a term mostly applicable to specific insects and parasites that utilize this form of life cycle advantageously.
