The capacity of fishes to cope with environmental variation is considered to be a main
determinant of their fitness and is partly determined by their stress physiology. By 2100 …

Sexual reproduction is prevalent across diverse taxa. However, sex-determination
mechanisms are so diverse that even closely related species often differ in sex …

Converging lines of inquiry from across the social and biological sciences target the adult
sex ratio (ASR; the proportion of males in the adult population) as a fundamental population …

In fishes, sex is determined by genetics, the environment or an interaction of both.
Temperature is among the most important environmental factors that can affect sex …

Triggers and biological processes controlling male or female gonadal differentiation vary in
vertebrates, with sex determination (SD) governed by environmental factors or simple to …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is an air pollutant of major environmental concern, with agriculture
representing 60% of anthropogenic global N2O emissions. Much of the N2O emissions from …

The study of sex determination and sex chromosome organization in nonmodel species has
long been technically challenging, but new sequencing methodologies now enable precise …

The mechanisms that contribute to variation in lifetime reproductive success are not well
understood. One possibility is that telomeres, conserved DNA sequences at chromosome …

The hypothesis that epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression regulation have two main
roles in vertebrate sex is presented. First, and within a given generation, by contributing to …

Many reptiles and some fish determine offspring sex by environmental cues such as
incubation temperature. The mechanism by which environmental signals are captured and …
