- Abstract
Genetic sex determination (GSD) predominates among most vertebrate species. Nevertheless, in many reptiles and in some other taxa, sex is determined by environmental factors, such as temperature (Temperature-dependent sex determination- TSD), which act after conception (Mrosovsky and Yntema, 1980). In many species of reptiles, incubation of eggs at some temperature yields 100% phenotypic males and 100% females at other temperatures (Godfrey et al, 1996). Both sexes may be obtained only in ...
