Review

"...a trove of information...central message is clear...important and worth reading..." (Entomologia Generalis, Vol 109(12), Dec 2003)

From the Inside Flap

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 propogation 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 in Volume VI; molecular and other aspects of differentiation and development of selected invertebrate groups in Volume VII; regulation of reproduction in representative acoelomates, pseudocoelomates, and schizocoelomates in Volume VIII; progress in male gamete ultrastructure and phylogeny in Volume IX; progress in developmental endocrinology in Volume X.
