Description

Our understanding of reproduction and reproductive processes is often biased towards the behaviour of organisms most familiar to us.

As such, the amazing disparity of the phenomena of reproduction and sex is often overlooked.

Understanding Reproduction addresses all the main facets of this large chapter of the life sciences, including discussions of asexual reproduction, parthenogenesis, sex determination, reproductive effort, and much more.

The book features an abundance of examples from across the tree of life, including animals, plants, fungi, protists and bacteria.

Written in an accessible and easy to digest style, overcoming the intimidating diversity of the technical terminology, this book will appeal to interested general readers, biologists, science educators, philosophers and medical doctors.
