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
