Reproductive Strategies and Developmental Patterns in Annelids [electronic resource] / edited by Adriaan W.C. Dorresteijn, Wilfried Westheide.
The fascination of the Annelida to scientists lies in the beauty of their structures and the functionality of their body plan, the tremendous adaptive radiation which has made it possible for these animals to colonize almost all marine, limnic and terrestrial biotopes. In doing so they have evolved...
