About the Book
Understanding where and how invertebrates live, reproduce, and develop continues to be a growing fascination to those in scientific, economic, environmental, and health- related fields. The Invertebrate Reproduction and Development fills the need for an updated reference that outlines essential information concerning all of the generally recognized phyla. It provides readers with an overview of the major reproductive and developmental strategies employed throughout the animal kingdom. Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, covers the reproductive and developmental biology of invertebrates in a manner that is straightforward and comprehensible. Researchers and instructors in the fields of morphology, developmental biology, and invertebrate biology will all be reminded of how the study of invertebrates has led the way in attempting to understand the mechanisms by which life is defined and propagated. After a brief historical overview that identifies the conceptual underpinnings of invertebrate zoology and embryology, the book discuss oogenesis, spermatogenesis, fertilization, and embryonic development. Besides this book also depicts about phylogenetically to encompass annelids, priapulans, molluscs, bryozoans, and echinoderms-covers larval morphology and evolution.
