Sinopsis

Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates Volume V Sexual Differentiation and Behaviour Edited by K.G. Adiyodi and R.G. Adiyodi 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. Sexual Differentiation and Behaviour is the fifth volume in the series. Contents Series Preface; Preface to Volume V; Systematic Resume of the Invertebrates; Porifera, M. Sara; Cnidaria, D.G.

Acerca del autor

About the Editors Dr. K.G. Adiyodi is Professor of Reproductive Physiology and Dean, Faculty of Sciences, Calicut University, Kerala, India. He is Founder-Secretary of the International Society of Invertebrate Reproduction, Founder-Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development, and Founder-President of the India Society of Invertebrate Reproduction. Popularisation of science and technology among the masses and their application for rural development has been a passion with him: he was the Founder-Secretary of and the prime moving spirit behind the formation of the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad in 1962. The organisation is now the largest and the most popular mass science movement in India and has won several national and international awards for its activities and achievements. Since 1986, Prof. Adiyodi is heading the Desiya Sastra Vedi (National Science Forum), a think-tank vanguard organisation, apolitical in character, closely watching and critically evaluating state policies and programmes in science and technology. Dr. Rita G. Adiyodi, formerly Rhodes Visiting Fellow, Somerville College, Oxford (1976 78), is Professor of Zoology at Calicut University. She served as President of the Crustacean Reprobiology and Aquaculture Bureau of India and as Vice-President of the Indian Society of Invertebrate Reproduction. Dr. Rita Adiyodi represented India on the International Committee of Comparative Endocrinology. Both editors have been working extensively on reproduction and growth biology of arthropods for nearly three decades. They have written and edited several books and published about one hundred and eighty research papers and advanced reviews.

De la solapa interior

Reproductive Biology of Invertebrates Volume V : Sexual Differentiation and Behaviour Edited by K.G. Adiyodi and R.G. Adiyodi Department of Zoology, Calicut University, India. 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, embryonic and post-embryonic development, embryonic nutrition, eclosion, and larval settlement and metamorphosis in Volume IV (Parts A and B). ?Sexual Differentiation and Behaviour?, the fifth volume in the encyclopaedic series, deals with various aspects of sexual biology of invertebrates ranging from Porifera to Chaetognatha?the patterns of sexuality and their evolution; genetic and non-genetic basis of sex determination; sex ratios; endogenous and exogenous influences in sexual differentiation and maturation; puberty, and aspects of sexual behaviour such as its ontogeny, genetics, species-specificity and evolution, mate recognition and selection, receptivity, courtship, copulatory and post-copulatory behaviour, and the mechanisms controlling mating behaviour. This volume serves as an indispensable corollary and companion to the four volumes that have already appeared in the series. Other volumes in the series
