abstract = {Sperm are highly specialized cells, which have been subject
to substantial evolutionary pressure. Whereas some sperm
features are highly conserved, others have undergone major
modifications. Some of these variations are driven by
adaptation to mating behaviours or fitness at the organismic
level. Others represent alternative solutions to the same
task. Sperm must find the egg for fertilization. During this
task, sperm rely on long slender appendages termed flagella
that serve as sensory antennas, propellers and steering
rudders. The beat of the flagellum is periodic. The
resulting travelling wave generates the necessary thrust for
propulsion in the fluid. Recent studies reveal that, for
steering, different species rely on different fundamental
features of the beat wave. Here, we discuss some examples of
unity and diversity across sperm from different species with
a particular emphasis on the steering mechanisms.},
