The environmental-endocrine basis of gynandromorphism (intersex) in a crustacean.

International journal of biological sciences - 5 Dec 2006

Olmstead Allen W, LeBlanc Gerald A

Abstract excerpt

Commensurate with the decline in many crustacean populations has been an accumulation in reports of sexually ambiguous individuals within these populations. The cause of gynandromorphism or intersex among crustaceans is unknown. We show that gynandromorphism in the branchiopod crustacean Daphnia magna is initiated by the sex-determining hormone methyl farnesoate when levels of the hormone are intermediate between...
