Riassunto: 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, fresh-water, 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. Progress in Developmental Endocrinology (issued in parts A and B) is the tenth Volume in the series. Volume X, Part A Progress in Developmental Endocrinology Edited by August Dorn Contents Preface to the Progress Series; Preface to Volume X A; Contributors; Endocrine Systems of Protostomia and Non-Vertebrate Deuterostomia An overview D.

From the Inside Flap: Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates Volume X-A: Progress in Developmental Endocrinology Series Edited by K.G. Adiyodi and R.G. Adiyodi Cochin University of Science and Technology, Kochi, India and Department of Zoology, Calicut University, India. Volume Edited by August Dorn Institut für Zoologie, Johannes Gutenberg-Universitat, D-55099 Mainz, Germany. 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 behavior, and sex changes in Volume V; asexual propagation 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. Volume IX, Progress in Male Gamete Ultrastructure and Phylogeny. Volume XA, Progress in Developmental Endocrinology, records progress in our knowledge on the subject and provides much new information. Other volumes in the series Volume I Oogenesis, Oviposition and Oosorption Volume II Spermatogenesis and Sperm Function Volume III Accessory Sex Glands Volume IV Fertilization, Development, and Parental Care (Parts A and B) Volume V Sexual Differentiation and Behaviour Volume VI Asexual Propogation and Reproductive Strategies (Parts A and B) Volume VII Progress in Developmental Biology Volume VIII Progress in Reproductive Endocrinology Volume IX Progress in Male Gamete Ultrastructure and Phylogeny (Parts A, B and C)
