| Résumé : |
This book entitled "experimental Embryology of Echinoderms" is addressed principally to two groups of people:
The first group comprises young students of zoology, particularly those who intended to take up research in order to introduce them to a fascinating field.
The second group includes all scientists using embryological echinoderm material in their studies.
Many researchers in cytology, physiology, and molecular biology have little or no knowledge of the morphogenetic properties of their material and lack appreciation of the long process by which such knowledge has been obtained. For these reasons, the author tries to give in this book some knowledge about experimental embryology of Echinoderms.
Embryology, developmental physiology, genetics, biochemistry, and molecular biology have all benefited from studies on sea urchin eggs and larvae, since Boveri, Driesch, and Herbst started using them in experimental investigations at the end of the last century.
The author gives a penetrating survey of the field of the biology of development.
The book will give physiologists and chemists who use echinoderms a proper morphogenetic knowledge of their material.
The scope of this book is chiefly the review of the experimental results obtained by mechanical means. It has been necessary to deal with some physiological problems and processes, thus entering into the wider field of developmental physiology, and even to trespass on genetics, which is included within the still wider concept of developmental biology.
The main intention has not been to give as concise an account as possible of the present state of our knowledge in these fields, but rather to give credit to the many early investigations in order to show how problems have been posed and attacked with gradually more refined methods. |
