| Summary |
"This volume correlates available data and ideas concerning the development, reproductive morphology, function and phylogeny of chondrichthyan fishes. The information presented and discussed is fundamental to our understanding of oogenesis, spermatogenesis, gestation, regulation of reproductive tract function, sperm storage, nutrient provision, placentation, phylogeny and are pertinent to our concepts of the origin of live bearing in general. New and exciting data is presented including the idea that yolk sac viviparity is the plesiomorphic state rather than oviparity."--BOOK JACKET |
