Features: Animal developmental biology is a significant branch and research hotspot in contemporary life sciences, undergoing profound revolution. This book, written with a scientific and modern systematic approach, is based on the undergraduate and graduate teaching syllabi of the discipline, drawing on years of teaching and research experience, and is extensively referenced from the latest domestic and international monographs and papers. The book is divided into five parts: Introduction, General Overview of Embryonic Development, Model Animals in Development, Developmental Theories, and Animal Reproductive Engineering, comprising 44 chapters. It includes glossary notes, references, and an English-Chinese glossary. The illustrations in the book provide readers with a clear and comprehensive understanding of the developmental evolutionary process. The content is relatively detailed, emphasizing the discussion of developmental morphology while focusing on explaining developmental mechanisms at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels using common model animals. This book is suitable for university teachers and students, as well as researchers in life science-related fields, and is particularly suitable for undergraduate and graduate teaching in biological disciplines.
