Relating to or characterized by reproduction that occurs in multiple locations or through multiple reproductive cycles.
From Greek 'amphi-' (both/multiple) and 'tokos' (birth/reproduction), describing organisms with diverse or distributed reproductive strategies.
Some fish are amphitokal, spawning in multiple locations during a season—this spreading of eggs increases survival odds compared to putting all reproductive effort in one place.
