Rheotaxis facilitates upstream navigation of mammalian sperm cells [PDF]
, 2014 A major puzzle in biology is how mammalian sperm maintain the correct swimming direction during various phases of the sexual reproduction process. Whilst chemotaxis may dominate near the ovum, it is unclear which cues guide spermatozoa on their long ...

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2006 Thermotaxis--movement directed by a temperature gradient--is a prevalent process, found from bacteria to human cells. In the case of mammalian sperm, thermotaxis appears to be an essential mechanism guiding spermatozoa, released from the cooler reservoir site, towards the warmer fertilization site.
