Abstract Background The American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) displays
temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), in which incubation temperature during …

In vertebrates, sexual differentiation of the reproductive system and brain is tightly
orchestrated by organizational and activational effects of endogenous hormones. In …

Sex determination and differentiation in reptiles are complex. In the model species, Pogona
vitticeps, high incubation temperature can cause male to female sex reversal. To elucidate …

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are the germline stem cells that are essential for the
maintenance of spermatogenesis in the testis. However, it has not been sufficiently …

An increasing number of children are born with intersex variation (IV; ambiguous genitalia/
hermaphrodite, pseudohermaphroditism, etc.). Evidence shows that endocrine-disrupting …

Physiological events at the time of fertilization of pig oocytes may differ in vitro depending on
the in vitro fertilization (IVF) medium. This hypothesis was tested by in vitro maturation of pig …

Despite the widespread occurrence of environmental sex determination (ESD) among
vertebrates, our knowledge of the temporal dynamics by which environmental factors act on …

Maternal provisioning and the developmental environment are fundamental determinants of
offspring traits, particularly in oviparous species. However, the extent to which embryonic …
