Adaptation and constraint in the evolution of environmental sex determination.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Apr 2004

Leimar Olof, Van Dooren Tom J M, Hammerstein Peter

Abstract excerpt

When environments differentially influence male and female performance, environmental sex determination (ESD) might evolve. The conclusion from several previous theoretical models was that reaction norms for sex determination should have a single, sharp threshold, with only females being produced in some environments and only males in others. These reaction norms can be disadvantageous in fluctuating...
