Genetic analyses of nuclear DNA (eg, microsatellites) are a primary tool for investigating
mating systems in reptiles, particularly marine turtles. Whereas studies over the past two …

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 …

Some previous studies indicate that the local hydric environment may influence sex
determination in turtles with temperature‐dependent sex determination. In this study, the …

Sexual differentiation of green sea turtles is directed by incubation temperature. The
constant incubation temperature that produces both sexes is known as the pivotal …

Rising sand temperatures resulting from climate warming may cause the 'feminization'of sea
turtle populations, which have temperature-dependent sex determination. In July and …

Maternal ability to match nest characteristics with environmental conditions can influence
offspring survival and quality, and may provide a mechanism by which animals can keep …

Many turtle species have temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), raising the
prospect that climate change could impact population dynamics by altering sex ratios …

Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) occurs when males or females are
differentially produced according to the incubation temperature (Bull, 1983). Since the …

Although populations of most sexual species exhibit a 1: 1 sex ratio, biased ratios are often
associated with environmental sex determination. Theoretical models predict that species …

Determining sex ratios of endangered populations is important for wildlife management,
particularly species subject to sex-specific threats or that exhibit temperature-dependent sex …
