Does gestational temperature or prenatal sex ratio influence development of sexual dimorphism in a viviparous skink?

Journal of experimental zoology. Part A, Ecological genetics and physiology - 1 Apr 2011

Hare Kelly M, Yeong Charlene, Cree Alison

Abstract excerpt

Prenatal sex ratio (through exposure to hormones from siblings in utero) can influence sexually dimorphic traits of many mammals; but research on viviparous reptiles has contrasting outcomes, which have yet to be resolved. The thermal environment experienced during gestation has a strong effect on the phenotype of reptiles, but whether this thermal effect overrides that of prenatal sex ratio has yet to be...
