Preface
The immense variety of animal forms we know and study today arose from the driving force of evolution. Many of
the fundamental processes within the life cycles of individual animals have been preserved or modified within the
taxa in such a way that we can use them to study phylogenetic relationships. This special volume of Hydrobiologia
describes and analyses reproductive and developmental traits of annelids. The fascination that the annelids may
exert on scientists lies not only in the beauty and functionality of their body plan, but also in the tremendous
adaptive diversity of their reproductive modes and developmental patterns.
Although progress in part of this field of invertebrate research was described extensively in such excellent
reviews as "Annelida: Polychaeta" by P.e. Schroeder & e.O. Hermans (in A.e. Giese & J.S. Pearse (eds), Re
production of Marine Invertebrates Vol III. Annelids and Echiurans, Academic Press, 1975) or in the volume
"Polychaete Reproduction" (Fortschritte der Zoologie Vol. 29, Gustav Fischer Verlag, 1984) edited by A. Fischer
& H.-D. Pfannenstiel, no such comprehensive work has appeared during the last fifteen years. A brief survey of
the various literature databases, however, shows that annelid research is gaining in popularity. There has been a
rapid increase in the number of publications, which are now beginning extensively to treat taxa such as Clitellata,
research on which has been neglected for too long, and Pogonophora, which have now been definitely positioned
within the Annelida. Modern cell and molecular biological methods are adding information to the datasets produced
by "classical" morphological and physiological studies and allow new predictions of phylogenetic relationships.
We have found that the enormous progress in annelid research necessitated a modern overview and there
fore invited speakers of differing expertise to an international conference at Haus Ohrbeck (a monastery in the
neighbourhood of Osnabriick). We gratefully acknowledge that this meeting from September 22 to 26, 1997
was financially supported by the Volkswagen Foundation (Hannover, Germany). The papers covered a selection
of important annelid taxa and a variety of topics (e.g., epitoky, poecilogony, semelparity, stolonisation, mating
systems, sperm types, hermaphroditism, pheromones, gametogenesis, larval settlement, pattern formation and
phylogeny) and were discussed extensively. The authors contributed a carefully prepared manuscript, which has
been reviewed critically by specialists in the same or related fields. The result of a year's work is this volume
on 'The Reproductive Strategies and Developmental Patterns in Annelids" 1. We believe this book to be a good
foundation for future work and for a better understanding of the biology, reproduction, development and phylogeny
of one of the largest invertebrate taxa.
