Series: Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates

About 95 per cent of all known animal species are invertebrates. Aknowledge of their sexual, reproductive, and development biology isessential for the effective management of species that areeconomically useful to man or are harmful to him, his crops, andlivestock. This treatise is the first to cover all aspects ofreproduction and development of the entire spectrum ofinvertebrates -- terrestrial, marine, freshwater, brackish-water,free-living, and parasitic. The chapters, by leading world expertsin their fields, are up-to-date and informative, and suggest anumber of problems for future research. Progress in Male GameteUltrastructure and Phylogeny (issued in parts A--C) is the ninthvolume in the series.
