Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey into the complex life cycle of salps, a unique type of transparent, free-floating tunicate that inhabits the vast expanse of the world's oceans. The author delves into the intricate details of salp development, exploring both sexual and asexual reproduction. The text meticulously dissects the stages of embryonic development from the initial egg through the formation of distinct solitary and aggregated forms, highlighting the extraordinary process of asexual budding that generates chains of interconnected individuals.

Beyond the technical details, the author explores the intriguing relationship between salp development and their systematic classification, comparing their unique features to those of other tunicates and ultimately shedding light on the evolutionary origins of the Chordata - the group that includes all vertebrates.
