One of the major questions in the evolution of animals is the
transition from unicellular to multicellular organization, which
resulted in the emergence of Metazoa through a hypothetical
Urmetazoa. The Comparative Embryology of Sponges contains abundant
original and literary data on comparative embryology and morphology
of the Porifera (Sponges), a group of 'lower Metazoa'. On the basis
of this material, original typization of the development of Sponges
is given and the problems concerning origin and evolution of
Porifera and their ontogenesis are discussed. A morphogenetic
interpretation of the body plan development during embryogenesis,
metamorphosis and asexual reproduction in Sponges is proposed.
Special attention is given to the analysis of characteristic
features of the ontogenesis in Porifera. The book pursues three
primary goals: 1) generalization of all existing information on
individual development of sponges, its classification and a
statement according to taxonomical structure of Porifera; 2)
revealing of heterogeneity of morphogenesis and peculiarities of
ontogeneses in various clades of Porifera, and also their
correlations with the organization, both adult sponges, and their
larvae; 3) revealing homology of morphogeneses in both Porifera and
Eumetazoa, testifying to the general evolutionary roots of
multicellular animals, and peculiar features of sponges'
morphogeneses and ontogenesis. This book will be of interest to
embryologists, zoologists, morphologists and researchers in
evolutionary biology.
