| 520 | |a Our understanding of reproduction and reproductive processes is often biased toward the behavior of organisms most familiar to us. As a consequence, the amazing diversity in the phenomena of reproduction and sex is often overlooked. This book 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.
