Reseña del editor

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. Asexual Propagation and Reproductive Strategies, issued in two parts, is the sixth volume in the series. Part A: Porifera through Mollusca Contents Series Preface; Preface to Volume VI; Systematic Resume of the Invertebrates; Porifera, Paul E. Fell; Cnidaria, Stanley Shostak; Platyhelminthes-Turbellaria, Mario Benazzi and Giuseppina Benazzi Lentati; Platyhelminthes-Trematoda, Roy M. Anderson; Platyhelminthes-Eucestoda, Larry S. Roberts and C. R. Kennedy; Mesozoa, Bayard H. McConnaughey; Rotifera, John J. Gilbert; Gastrotricha, M. R. Hummon and W. D. Hummon; Acanthocephala, C. R. Kennedy; Sipuncula, Mary E. Rice and John F.

Nota de la solapa

Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates Volume VI Asexual Propagation and Reproductive Strategies 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; how accessory sex gland secretions facilitate their packaging, storage, survival, and delivery in Volume III; events leading to and following the union of gametes such as insemination, sperm-egg interaction, fertilization, development, embryonic nutrition, eclosion, and larval settlement and metamorphosis in Volume IV; different aspects of invertebrate sexology such as patterns of sexuality, sex determination, sexual differentiation and maturation, sexual receptivity and behaviour, and sex changes in Volume V. ?Asexual Propagation and Reproductive Strategies?, the sixth volume in the encyclopaedic series, deals with asexual propagation and regeneration, parthenogenesis, special modes of reproduction such as polyembryony and paedogenesis, fecundity, sterility, breeding cycles, reproductive strategies (life-history tactics), and interspecific reproductive isolation. This volume serves as an indispensable corollary and companion to the five volumes that have already appeared in the series. Other volumes in the series

Volume I		Oogenesis, Oviposition,
Volume II		Spermatogenesis and Sperm Function
Volume III		Accessory Sex Glands
Volume IV		Fertilization, Development, and Parental Care (parts A and B)
