Abstract
This chapter comes in continuity with chapter 10 in a sense that it tentatively aims to provide a synthetic overview of problematic posed by sperm guidance in a large variety of species and summarize globally the diversity of mechanisms individually adopted in each group where sperm attraction was characterized, while discerning common strategies.
Keywords: CyclicAMP, Ca2+ ions, Directionality, Motility activation, Movement, Phosphorylation, Regulation, Sperm.
