Invertebrate Embryology and Reproduction: A Comprehensive Guide

Authored by Fatma El-Bawab, this book delves into the practical and theoretical aspects of invertebrate embryology, exploring the fascinating world of reproduction in these diverse groups of animals.

In this comprehensive tome, readers will discover the intricacies of morphological and anatomical expressions in invertebrates, starting from the simplest Protozoa to the complex Echinodermata, Protochordate, and Tunicates.

COVERING KEY GROUPS OF INVERTEBRATES

The book places special emphasis on economically important aquatic invertebrates, such as crustaceans, as well as medically important invertebrates and economic arthropods. Each chapter is carefully structured to provide an in-depth understanding of the taxonomy, phylum definition, general characteristics, classification, and reproductive strategies of these organisms.

REPRODUCTION IN INVERTEBRATES

The book covers agametic reproduction, gametic reproduction, spawning, fertilization, development, and embryogenesis in invertebrates, providing a thorough understanding of the complex reproductive processes in these organisms.

ILLUSTRATED WITH STUNNING IMAGES

The book is supplemented with an array of detailed figures, photographs, and electron microscopical studies, showcasing the intricacies of invertebrate anatomy and development.

By bringing together research data from around the world, including previously inaccessible references, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, and students seeking to understand the complexities of invertebrate embryology and reproduction.
