Optimal feeding is optimal swimming for all P\'eclet numbers (2011, background): “Motility is also essential to reproductive success, in particular for mammals [7].”
Hydrodynamic propulsion of human sperm (2009, background): “Mammalian sperm, including those of humans, exhibit various swimming behaviours throughout their life, which are thought to be related to the different stages of their journey through the female reproductive tract (Suarez & Pacey 2006).”
