Temperature-dependent sex determination and global change: are some species at greater risk?

V Hulin, V Delmas, M Girondot, MH Godfrey, JM Guillon - Oecologia, 2009 - Springer
In species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), global climate change may
result in a strong sex ratio bias that could lead to extinction. The relationship between sex …
