Sperm‐egg interaction in Discoglossus pictus (the painted frog). Background image shows the live view of fertilization. The drawings describe (from left to right) the unfertilized egg, bundles of spermatozoa contacting the egg jelly before sperm ejection, single spermatozoa engaged in jelly and egg penetration. Campanella et al. (in this issue) identify one of the molecules involved in gamete binding. Drawings courtesy of Doppiavoce (www.doppiavoce.it).
