In species or developmental stages where the sex of an individual cannot be reliably
identified through external morphology, molecular markers can provide a critical tool to study …

Most turtle species possess temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), but genotypic
sex determination (GSD) has evolved multiple times independently from the TSD ancestral …

Sex determination is triggered by factors ranging from genotypic (GSD) to environmental
(ESD), or both GSD+ EE (GSD susceptible to environmental effects), and its evolution …

Sex diagnosis is important in ecology, evolution, conservation biology, medicine, and food
production. However, sex diagnosis is difficult in species without conspicuous sexual …

Turtles demonstrate variability in sex determination ranging from environmental sex
determination (ESD) to highly differentiated sex chromosomes. However, the evolutionary …

The sex determination mechanism for the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) is
subject to controversy. Some populations have been shown to possess sex chromosomes …

Reptiles have a wide diversity of sex-determining mechanisms and types of sex
chromosomes. Turtles exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination and genotypic sex …

For a long time, turtles of the family Geoemydidae have been considered exceptional
because representatives of this family were thought to possess a wide variety of sex …

Temperature-dependent sex determination, present in most turtle species, is a mechanism
that uses temperature to direct the sex of the embryo. The rapid increase of global …

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