Assessing the potential for egg chemoattractants to mediate sexual selection in a broadcast spawning marine invertebrate

In numerous species, egg chemoattractants play a critical role in guiding sperm towards unfertilized eggs (sperm chemotaxis). Until now, the known functions of sperm chemotaxis include increasing the effective target size of eggs, thereby promoting sperm–egg encounters, and facilitating species reco...
