Adaptive variation in environmental and genetic sex determination in a fish.

Nature - 1 Jan 2000

Conover D O, Heins S W

Abstract excerpt

Two general mechanisms of sex determination have been identified among gonochoristic vertebrates: environmental sex determination where offspring become male or female in response to an environmental factor(s) during development (for example, some fishes and reptiles); and genetic sex determination where sex is determined by genotype at conception (as in birds and mammals). How do these sex-determining systems...
