Influence of temperature on the sex of hatchling sea turtles has been documented for all
species of sea turtles (see Wibbels 2003, Limpus 2007). As pointed out by Wibbels'(2003) …

Female sea turtles are promiscuous, with clutches of eggs often sired by multiple males and
rates of multiple paternity varying greatly within and across species. We investigated levels …

All sea turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination, a process in which the
incubation temperature of the nest determines the sex of the offspring. Given the potential …

Sex ratios of the American snapping turtle Chelydra serpentina are female-biased at cool
temperatures, male-biased at moderate temperatures, and only females are produced at …

Sea turtles are among several hundred species whose sex is determined by incubation
conditions during critical developmental periods. Consequently, these marine reptiles may …

Theoretical models identify maternal behavior as critical for the maintenance and evolution
of sex ratios in organisms with environmental sex determination (ESD). Maternal choice of …

Marine turtles exhibit temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). During critical
periods of embryonic development, the nest's thermal environment directs whether an …

Summary 1 In temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) species, offspring sex‐ratio
is dependent on the environmental temperature. For oviparous sauropsid species …

Exogenous application of steroids and related substances to eggs affects offspring sex ratios
in species with temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). Laboratory studies …

New data on the genders of young turtles from eggs incubated at controlled temperatures
demonstrate temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) in 17 species surveyed for the …
