Definition
The consumption or ingestion of reproductive cells or sexual material; eating of gametes or mating cells.
Etymology
From Greek 'gamos' (reproductive cell) + '-phagy' (eating/consumption). Rare variant of gamophagia in specialized biological literature.
Kelly Says
Some single-celled organisms practice gamophagy—they eat potential mates instead of reproducing with them, which is nature's version of not playing nice.
