TLDR
The events of fertilization involving the incorporation of the spermatozoa, the development of the male pronucleus, and the association of the maternally and paternally derived pronuclei have been investigated in the egg of Spisula solidissima.

An ultrastructural analysis of the gametes and early fertilization in two bivalve molluscs, Chama macerophylla and Spisula solidissima with special reference to gamete binding

TL;DR: Observation that gamete membrane fusion occurs by fusion of the acrosomal tubule and a microvillus is presented provides a generalized pattern of molluscan fertilization.

- 01 Dec 1972 - 
TL;DR: Failure of the cleavage furrow to develop during polar body formation in CB treated zygotes suggests that the filamentous material associated with the leading edge of the furrow of control specimens may function in a manner proposed for the contractile ring of mitotic cells.

TL;DR: Eggs of the sea urchin, Arbacia punctulata, treated with 3% urethane for 30 sec followed by 0.3% Urethane and inseminated are polyspermic and fail to undergo a typical cortical reaction.

TL;DR: The cytological transformations leading to the establishment of the two-cell stage in the rabbit have been studied with techniques of light and electron microscopy and there is an absence of a zygote nucleus.
