Offspring sex in a lizard depends on egg size.

Current biology : CB - 14 Jul 2009

Radder Rajkumar S, Pike David A, Quinn Alexander E, Shine Richard

Abstract excerpt

Current paradigms may substantially underestimate the complexity of reptilian sex determination. In previous work, we have shown that the sex of a hatchling lizard (Bassiana duperreyi, Scincidae) does not depend entirely on its genes (XX versus XY sex chromosomes); instead, low nest temperatures can override genotype to produce XX as well as XY males. Our experimental studies now add a third mechanism to this...
