agamospecies, n. Bot.|əˈgæməˌspiːʃiːz, eɪˈgæməˌspiːʃiːz, əˈgæməˌspiːsiːz, eɪˈgæməˌspiːsiːz|
[f. Gr. ἄγαµος unmarried + species n.]
A species that reproduces only asexually.
1929G. Turesson in Hereditas XII. 332 The species in the Linnéan and in the ordinary sense of the word represents units of very different nature, including the ecospecies, the coenospecies..and the agamospecies, defined below. 1947Acta Univ. Lundensis XLIII. 226 The Scandinavian population should, from Turesson's point of view, be said to form an agamospecies, rather than a forma apomicta. 1971Nature 1 Oct. 309/1 The special case of the almost totally apomictic Alchemilla, many of whose agamospecies are narrow endemics yet show some ecotypic differentiation. 1988Evolution XLII. 289/2 Because the natural clones behave largely as independent genetic entities (‘agamospecies’), it is reasonable to expect the biochemical variability of the parasite to be statistically correlated with other features. |
