`The strength of the book lies in the comparative and interactive
consideration of many taxa and phenomena and the overall
phylogenetic background. Of particular use are the well-done
reviews of relevant literature on the reproductive biology of
various families ... the book is a must for everyone who is
interested in reproductive biology of annelids.' Spixiana, 24:2
(2001)
`...it is of fine quality... excellent illustrations... it will
appeal primarily to annelid specialists, but it will also be of
interest as an occasional reference to those with more general
interests in animal development and life histories.' American
Zoologist, 40 (2000)
