This volume reviews our current understanding for how sex determination isinitiated and how it results in sexual dimorphic development. Chaptersdiscussing work on different model systems provide a basis for understandingsimilarities that exist between different species. Coverage includes discussionof sexual development of the soma in C. elegans sexual development of thegermline in C. elegans sexual development of the soma in Drosophila sexualdevelopment of the germline in Drosophila sexual development of the soma inthe mouse sexual development of the germline in the mouse control of sexspecific behavior in Drosophila and control of sexspecific behavior invertebrates. Uncovers the latest research findings on sexual determination and sexualdevelopment Detailed model systems illustrate species differences andsimilarities Thoroughly explains sexual development across various germlinesincluding Drosophila Outlines the origins and control of sexspecific behavior «
