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. A.
