In biology, a klepton is a species that requires input from another biological taxon to complete their reproductive cycle. Specific types of kleptons are zygokleptons, which reproduce by zygogenesis; gynokleptons which reproduce by gynogenesis, and tychokleptons, which reproduce by a combination of both systems. The term is derived from the Greek, kleptein, "to steal".
