مستخلص: Highlights: [•] Testicular functions are controlled by a master switch (GnRH pulse generator) and two feedback systems (LH-testosterone, FSH-inhibin). [•] The structural organization of spermatogenesis varies drastically between species. [•] The regulatory mechanisms controlling sperm output act primarily on spermatogonia. [•] Differentiation of germ cells follows a highly coordinated and strictly predetermined morphogenetic cascade independent of hormonal control. [•] Uncountable adaptions for optimizing specific needs of different species create a species specific diversity of hormonal control mechanisms. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
