Carbohydrate-based species recognition in sea urchin fertilization: another avenue for speciation?

Summary Spawning marine invertebrates are excellent models for studying fertilization and reproductive isolating mechanisms. To identify variation in the major steps in sea urchin gamete recognition, we studied sperm activation in three closely related sympatric Strongylocentrotus species. Sperm und...
