In 1964, the Fertilization and Gamete Physiology Research Training
Program (FERGAP) was established at the Marine Biological
Laboratories, Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Over the course of the
next 12 years, under the directorship of Dr. Charles B. Metz,
FERGAP brought together, trained, and inspired a generation of
students in reproductive biology from all over the world. As
students of C. B. Metz and as FERGAP trainees, we would like to
dedicate this collected work on comparative mammalian fertilization
to our teacher and mentor, Dr. Charles B. Metz. Like a number of
authors contributing to this volume, we have been struck by the
significant impact that C. B. Metz and FERGAP had on the
development of students of reproductive biology. Applying both the
classical and molecular techniques of cell biology and immunology
to problems of gamete biology, Dr. Metz emphasized a comparative
and analytical approach that was reflected in his own research on
fertilization in Paramecia, sea urchins, frogs, and mammals. It is
hoped that this volume will serve to stimulate students to discover
the myriad of fascinating research problems in gamete and
reproductive biology. Bonnie S. Dunbar Michael G. O'Rand Houston,
