A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Comprehensive, up–to–date coverage of the major reproductive and developmental strategies in the animal kingdom

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 Second Edition of Atlas of 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.

This new edition presents a broad range of coverage in textual descriptions of reproduction and development in animal phyla, including a series of labeled micrographs that demonstrate the details of reproductive systems as well as the embryonic, larval, and juvenile stages for representatives of each phylum. In addition, the Second Edition provides vital updates, including:
∗ Fourteen additional phyla, including all generally recognized phyla
∗ Discussion of newly discovered animal phylumÑCycliophora
∗ Additional coverage of chordate development, including embryogeny of tunicates
∗ Expanded coverage of several phyla based on recent research

Atlas of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, Second Edition 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.
