The condition or quality of being a gamodeme; the state of forming a genetically coherent breeding population.
From 'gamodeme' + Greek '-ia' or '-y' noun-forming suffix. Technical term developed in 20th-century evolutionary biology.
This is basically the hidden glue holding animal and plant populations together—without gamodesmy, there'd be no way for populations to maintain their characteristics across generations.
