Invertebrate Reproduction & Development ( IRD) presents original research on the reproductive and developmental biology of the Invertebrata, both embryonic and postembryonic. IRD welcomes papers reporting significant results obtained using new techniques. Encouraged topic areas include: aquaculture, physiology, biochemistry, functional morphology, phylogeny, behavioural and regulatory mechanisms, including genetic, endocrine and molecular studies. Papers containing qualitative descriptions of reproductive cycles and gametogenesis will not be considered. IRD is published in association with the International Society of Invertebrate Reproduction and Development. The journal publishes penetrating and provocative reviews, research papers, notes and announcements. New techniques and perspectives are particularly welcome. The journal also welcomes short reports on 'hot' articles appearing in the current literature. The main criteria for acceptance of subject reviews and research papers are originality, scientific rigour and appeal to an international readership. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
