Reproduction and Development in Aquatic Invertebrates
Reproduction and Development in Minor Phyla
1st Edition
By T. J. Pandian
May 29, 2023
The 26 recognized minor phyla comprise aberrant clades, as most of them terminate as blind offshoots. Untied from the discussion on their phylogenesis of minor phyla, this book is largely devoted, for the first time, to aspects of reproduction and development in minor phyletics. The minor phyla are...
Reproduction and Development in Platyhelminthes
1st Edition
By T. J. Pandian
September 30, 2021
This book is a comprehensive elucidation on aspects of reproduction and development in platyhelminthes covering from acoelids to taeniids. With the unique presence of neoblasts, turbellarians serve as a model for studies on cancer and senescence. Of ~ 27,000 species, ~ 77% are parasites; they are ...

1st Edition
By T. J. Pandian
March 31, 2021
This book is a concise informative elucidation of all aspects of reproduction and development in annelids covering from arenicola to tubifex. Annelids flourish between 4,900 m depth to 2,000 m altitude; some of them occur in unusual habitats like hydrothermal vents and subterranean aquatic system (...
Reproduction and Development in Crustacea
1st Edition
By T. J. Pandian
March 31, 2021
Dating back to the early Cambrian period, crustaceans had ample time to undertake endless experimentation with form and function. Today, no other group of plants or animals on the planet exhibit the range of morphological diversity seen among extant Crustacea. With more than 52,000 species, they ...
Reproduction and Development in Echinodermata and Prochordata
1st Edition
By T. J. Pandian
March 31, 2021
Echinoderms and prochordates occupy a key position in vertebrate evolution. The genomes of sea urchin share 70% homology with humans. Researches on cell cycle in sea urchin and phagocytosis in asteroids have fetched Nobel Prizes. In this context, this book assumes immense importance. Echinoderms ...
Reproduction and Development in Mollusca
1st Edition
By T. J. Pandian
March 31, 2021
This book is perhaps the first attempt to comprehensively project the uniqueness of molluscs, covering almost all aspects of reproduction and development from aplacophorans to vampyromorphic cephalopods. Molluscs are unique for the presence of protective external shell, defensive inking, geographic...
