reproductively
In procreative terms
Reproductively describes something done in relation to reproduction—the biological process of producing offspring.
The word appears most often in scientific or medical contexts: reproductively mature, reproductively active populations.
Something that is reproductively isolated cannot interbreed with other groups, a key concept in speciation.
