Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates, Volume 11

About 95 per cent of all known animal species are invertebrates. 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 or livestock. This book contains chapters by leading experts in the field. It covers much of the up to date research in an informative and highly useful fashion. It also covers all parts of recent progress in vitellogenisis.
