Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates Volume IV Fertilization, Development, and Parental Care Edited by K.G. Adiyodi and R.G. Adiyodi About 95 per cent of all known animal species are invertebrates. A knowledge of their sexual, reproductive, and developmental biology is essential for the effective management of species that are economically useful to man or are harmful to him, his crops, and livestock. This treatise is the first to cover all aspects of reproduction and development of the entire spectrum of invertebrates terrestrial, marine, freshwater, brackish–water, free–living, and parasitic. The chapters, by leading world experts in their fields, are up–to–date and informative, and suggest a number of problems for future research. Fertilization, Development, and Parental Care is the fourth volume in the series.

Aus dem Klappentext

Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates Volume IV: Fertilization, Development, and Parental Care Edited by K.G. Adiyodi and R.G. Adiyodi Department of Zoology, Calicut University, India. The story of invertebrate gametes their structure, origin, composition, physiology, and production mechanisms—was told in Volumes I and II and how accessory sex gland secretions facilitate their packing, storage, survival, and delivery, in Volume III. The story of the gametes however, is not complete until events leading to and following their union have been narrated.‘Fertilization, Development, and Parental Care’, the fourth volume in the encyclopaedic series narrates in detail this half of the story. It provides very valuable information, some hitherto unpublished, on insemination, spermegg interaction, fertilization, embryonic and post-embryonic development, eclosion, larval settlement and metamorphosis, embryonic nutrition, and types of care bestowed by parents on the developing young. Developmental biology, as reviewed and discussed in these pages, covers various aspects—descriptive, experimental ultrastructural, physiological, biochemical, and molecular. Cell lineage, role of cell adhesion as well as morphogenetic determinants in morphogenesis, and patterns of nucleic acid and protein synthesis are described, and some phylogenetic conclusions drawn based on patterns of cleavage and development. This volume issued in two parts, serves as an indispensable corollary and companion to the three volumes that have already appeared in the series.
