Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the author's groundbreaking discovery of polyembryonic development in the Texas armadillo. Polyembryony, development of more than one individual from a single egg, is an uncommon phenomenon among mammals and its habitual occurrence in a species is exceptionally rare. The author methodically describes stages of development from the implantation of the fertilized egg through the differentiation of the inner cell mass into embryonic ectoderm and entoderm. The observations made challenge some long-held assumptions about mammalian development, mirroring similar discoveries in the native cat, Dasyurus viverrinus, and demonstrating the diversity of developmental processes employed across the animal kingdom. This book is a must-read for embryologists, mammalogists and scholars of evolutionary development.
