Sexual
Biology and Reproduction in Crustaceans
covers crustacean reproduction as it deals
with the structural morphology of the
gamete-producing primary sex organs, such
as the testis and ovary, the formation and
maturation of gametes, their fusion during
fertilization, and embryonic development
that lead to the release of larvae.
Constituting a diverse assemblage of
animals, crustaceans are best known by
their common representatives, such as
shrimps, lobsters, and crabs, but also
include many more less familiar, but
biologically important forms.
This work covers the variety of ways in
which both male and female gametes are
produced by evolving different sexual
systems in crustaceans, the range of
reproductive systems, and the accordingly,
and highly diverse, mechanistic modes of
sex determination. In addition, the book
features such topics as genetic and
environmental determinants in sex
determination pattern, variability of
mechanisms of fertilization among
different species, the origin of different
mating systems, the associated mating and
brooding behaviors, and the adaptive
ability to different environmental
conditions with discussion on the
evolutionary ecology of social and sexual
systems in certain species, which have
shown eusocial tendencies, similar to
social insects.
Marine species occupying diversified
ecological niches in tropical and
temperate zones reproduce under definitive
environmental conditions. Therefore,
reproductive ecology of different
crustaceans inhabiting different
ecological niches also constitutes another
important aspect of the work, along with
yolk utilization and embryogenesis leading
to release of different larval forms,
which reflect on their aquatic
adaptability.
