Mutual information reveals variation in temperature-dependent sex determination in response to environmental fluctuation, lifespan and selection.

Abstract excerpt

Quantifying the degree to which sex determination depends on the environment can yield insight into the evolution, ecological dynamics, and functional aspects of sex determination. In temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD), theory often predicts a complete dependence of sex on temperature, with a switch-like reaction norm. However, empirical data suggest more shallow relationships between sex and...
