The evolution of sex-determining mechanisms: lessons from temperature-sensitive mutations in sex determination genes in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2009

Chandler C H, Phillips P C, Janzen F J

Abstract excerpt

Sexual reproduction is one of the most taxonomically conserved traits, yet sex-determining mechanisms (SDMs) are quite diverse. For instance, there are numerous forms of environmental sex determination (ESD), in which an organism's sex is determined not by genotype, but by environmental factors during development. Important questions remain regarding transitions between SDMs, in part because the organisms...
