Morphogenesis An Analysis of the Development of Biological Form: An Analysis of the Development of Biological Form

    An integrated reference which could form the basis for advanced courses on development or become a resource for individuals teaching basic courses. Following an introduction by the volume editors, the 11 chapters represent 11 different systems, arranged phylogenetically, beginning with prokaryotic s
