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 Résumé of the Invertebrates; Porifera, M. Sarà; Cnidaria, D.G.
