vagility

[ vuh-jil-i-tee ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

, Biology.

First recorded in 1935–40; vagile + -ity

The reason for the greater vagility of females in Fitch's records is less evident.

The seemingly greater restriction of muticus to running-water habitats suggests less vagility than in spinifer (Netting, 1944:86).

This figure provides a basis for comparing vagility of this species with others.
