<p><i>Concepts in Reproduction</i> integrates the principal mechanisms of reproduction among eukaryotes, with a focus on animals and plants. The text emphasizes processes and approaches that evolved to address specific problems inherent in reproduction using examples from morphology, functional studies, and genetic studies. The many high-quality figures complement the text and provide visual storyboards. Footnotes and boxes are used throughout to provide depth and to enrich understanding. Information is compartmentalized to guide new readers through complex material while offering in-depth coverage of significant and impactful topics for experts. </p><p>Key Features</p><p>?

Rich multiple-choice questions that span the content</p><p><i>Concepts in Reproduction</i> is recommended for advanced undergraduate students, new graduate students, and investigators or clinicians seeking breadth in their knowledge in the field. The book provides foundational knowledge of fertilization, gametogenesis, primordial germ cell formation, and ontogeny of reproductive organs. Key principles of developmental biology, genetics, endocrinology, protein biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology are included to tell holistic stories of reproduction among eukaryotes. Later chapters tackle how the field applies these findings to address societal issues. </p>
