Iteroparity (Squirrel)
Iteroparity is a type of reproductive strategy living organisms use. The parallel plant term for iteroparity is "perennial". Animals that fall in this class include vertebrates and invertebrates: mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, mollusca, and insects. An iteroparous species is that which can, or chooses to, reproduce multiple times across its life. However there are some iteroparous populations that have individuals who die between their first and second reproductive episodes.
