An analytical framework for estimating fertilization bias and the fertilization set from multiple sperm-storage organs.

How sperm from competing males are used to fertilize eggs is poorly understood yet has important implications for postcopulatory sexual selection. Sperm may be used in direct proportion to their numerical representation within the fertilization set or with a bias toward one male over another. Previous theoretical treatments have assumed a single sperm-storage organ, but many taxa possess multip...

Sperm membrane physiology and relevance for fertilization.

This paper aims to overview recent insights in sperm surface remodelling pertinent to fertilization. A basic understanding of this remodelling is required to interpret the high amount of data appearing from high-throughput identification techniques for proteins presently applied in reproductive biology. From the extensive lists of protein candidates identified by proteomics, only a few are reco...

Fertilization and sperm chemotaxis in ascidians.

Prior to fertilization, spermatozoa of many animals and plants show chemotactic behavior toward eggs. Chemotactic behavior was first described in ferns (1), and their attractant was identified as the bimalate ion (2). In animals, sperm chemotaxis to the egg was first observed in the hydrozoan Spirocodon saltatrix (3) and is now widely recognized in all species from cnidarians to human (for revi...

Developmental sperm contributions: fertilization and beyond.

The objective of this review was to examine the role of the various spermatozoal components suspected of actively participating in early human development. The contributions of the fertilizing spermatozoon to the oocyte include, as a minimum, the delivery of the DNA/chromatin, a putative oocyte-activating factor (OAF), and a centriole. Recent data indicate that spermatozoa may also provide the ...

Implications of complete fertilization failure after intracytoplasmic sperm injection for subsequent fertilization and reproductive outcome.

With the introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), couples with severe male factor infertility have achieved fertilization and clinical pregnancy rates comparable to other in-vitro fertilization (IVF) patients. However, failure of fertilization still occurs in some patients despite the utilization of microsurgical sperm injection techniques. How such fertilization failure after I...
