Heritable variation for sex ratio under environmental sex determination in the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina).

Genetics - 1 May 1992

Janzen F J

Abstract excerpt

The magnitude of quantitative genetic variation for primary sex ratio was measured in families extracted from a natural population of the common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina), which possesses temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Eggs were incubated at three temperatures that produced mixed sex ratios. This experimental design provided estimates of the heritability of sex ratio in multiple...
