英文释义
名词 n.
-
A species that requires input from another biological taxon (normally from a species which is closely related to the kleptonic species) to complete its reproductive cycle.
— Most kleptons are female, and some don’t use the genes of the male at all, merely deploying his sperm to stimulate the egg into development without fertilising it.
词源
From Ancient Greek κλέπτ(ης) (klépt(ēs), “thief”) + -on, after taxon.
