Many data suggest an involvement of estrogens in gonadal differentiation in reptiles with
temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). However, the site of estrogen synthesis in …

In certain reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), estrogens act as a
signal for female differentiation. Because aromatase produces estrogens from androgens …

In embryos of the European pond turtle, sexual differentiation of gonads is temperature-
dependent. Production of oestrogens appears to play a key role in this phenomenon …

Emys orbicularis is a freshwater turtle with temperature‐dependent sex determination.
Estrogens play a major role in gonadal differentiation; when they are produced at high levels …

In many turtles the temperature during the middle of incubation determines the gonadal sex
of the hatchling. In the red-eared slider turtle (Trachemys scripta), an incubation temperature …

In the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), gonadal sex differentiation is temperature‐
dependent. The temperature sensitive period (TSP) of gonadogenesis lies between stages …

Gonadal sex in the red-eared slider turtle is determined by the incubation temperature that
the embryo experiences during the mid-trimester of development. High temperatures result …

Administration of exogenous estradiol benzoate (EB) or an estrogen agonist, R2858, into
eggs of snapping turtles caused all embryos incubated at male-producing temperatures to …

In the turtle Emys orbicularis, sexual differentiation of gonads is temperature-dependent.
Oestrogens have been shown to be involved in this phenomenon and temperature has been …

It has been hypothesized that estrogen production may play a pivotal role in the sex
determination of reptiles with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). This …
