This book discusses the sexual and asexual modes of reproduction of solitary echinoderms, colonial hemichordates, and ascidians. It focuses on the study of the primordial and embryonic stem cells found in echinoderms as early models for gene therapy in vertebrates.

This book brings to light for the first time many interesting features in 25 minor phyletic invertebrates without being constrained by phylogenetic considerations. Relation between coelom type and regeneration is elaborated.

The unprecedented level of diversity recorded among the clones of self-fertilizing gynogenetic unisexuals and self-fertilizing simultaneous hermaphrodites challenges current ideas on the predominant role of recombination in promoting evolution of biological diversity. This book offers a synthesis of relevant information on sexuality of fishes.

A comprehensive study of sex differentiation gonochoric and hermaphroditic fishes, this book examines sex chromosomes and sex determining genes, emphasizing the need to search for more than one sex-determining gene residing on different chromosomes.
