Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the reproductive biology of Sabussowia dioica, this work provides a comprehensive analysis of its gametogenesis, fertilization, oviposition, and development using light and electron microscopy. Notably, it details the unique process of hypodermic impregnation and the structure of its spermatozoon. The female gonad features two ovaries and numerous vitellogenic glands, producing oocytes and yolk globules. This study is a valuable resource for zoologists and biologists interested in the reproductive mechanisms of this exceptional flatworm species.
