"...des femelles qui changent souvent de partenaires..."
Il semble qu'une explication s'impose étant donné votre contexte.
Le mot "promiscuous" se traduit par "personne aux moeurs légères." Il fait souvent référence au vagabondage sexuel.
The above translation might do fine in regards to your context (biology).

Les biologists ont trouvé une femelle "aux moeurs légères"
I suppose what is meant is "infidèle" since "aux moeurs légères" is something that applies to human beings. That is why I would use it between quotation marks to imply that it is rather a very special and restricted meaning.
Something went wrong...
