Introduction to Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates

Description

Invertebrate reproduction & development (IRD) presents original research on the reproductive and developmental biology of the invertebrate, both embryonic and postembryonic. It provides readers with an overview of the major reproductive and developmental strategies employed throughout the animal kingdom. Invertebrate reproduction and development have been presented within the framework of scientific discovery. Morphogenesis is animals has made tremendous and incredible strides in recent years. Consequently, existing concepts of the developmental biology have expanded. There has been a revolution indeed in this direction. Invertebrate are a paraphyletic group of animals that neither possess nor develop a vertebral column. This is a grouping including all animals apart from the chordate subphylum vertebrata.
