ECHINODERMS and lophophorates play central roles in biological research. Their reproduction strategies provide insight into cell studies, genetics and evolution, and invertebrate taxonomy. This comprehensive treatise includes their asexual reproduction (or its absense). Sexual reproduction, anatomy, gametogenesis, spawning, and development, including fertilization, embryogenesis, and larval stages. Current knowledge is covered in the same thorough and scholarly manner that has become the hallmark of earlier volumes in this series.
