Recenzje

'Fusco and Minelli's The Biology of Reproduction is a much-needed and welcome addition. It allows readers to place whatever model system and aspect of reproductive biology they seek into a broader context, across levels of biological organization but also in relation to the breathtaking diversity that exists among living systems in when, where, and by what means the continuity of life is made possible.' Armin P. Moczek, The Quarterly Review of Biology
