Enigmas of mammalian gamete form and function

Article Abstract:

Various aspects of gamete function and their interrelationships and the indications that the mechanism of fertilization in euthrian mammals differs in several important respects from those of other animals are described. Collective evidence suggests that many of the features reflect a new fertilization strategy or its consequences, with most being causally linked.
