Climate-driven population divergence in sex-determining systems.

Nature - 18 Nov 2010

Pen Ido, Uller Tobias, Feldmeyer Barbara, Harts Anna, While Geoffrey M, Wapstra Erik

Abstract excerpt

Sex determination is a fundamental biological process, yet its mechanisms are remarkably diverse. In vertebrates, sex can be determined by inherited genetic factors or by the temperature experienced during embryonic development. However, the evolutionary causes of this diversity remain unknown. Here we show that live-bearing lizards at different climatic extremes of the species' distribution differ in their...
