Fecundity

Fecundity is defined in two ways; in human demography, it is the potential for reproduction of a recorded population as opposed to a sole organism, while in population biology, it is considered similar to fertility,[1][2][3] the natural capability to produce offspring,[4] measured by the number of gametes (eggs), seed set, or asexual propagules.
