Vertebrate sex determination: evolutionary plasticity of a fundamental switch
B Capel - Nature Reviews Genetics, 2017 - nature.com
The discovery of the Sry gene in 1990 triggered a revolution in our understanding of sex
determination. More recently, advances in non-model organisms have been fuelled by the …

Sex chromosome evolution in lizards: independent origins and rapid transitions
Reptiles epitomize the variability of reproductive and sex determining modes and
mechanisms among amniotes. These modes include gonochorism (separate sexes) and …

Multivariate models of animal sex: breaking binaries leads to a better understanding of ecology and evolution
Synopsis “Sex” is often used to describe a suite of phenotypic and genotypic traits of an
organism related to reproduction. However, these traits—gamete type, chromosomal …

Sex ratios in a warming world: thermal effects on sex-biased survival, sex determination, and sex reversal
S Edmands - Journal of Heredity, 2021 - academic.oup.com
Rising global temperatures threaten to disrupt population sex ratios, which can in turn cause
mate shortages, reduce population growth and adaptive potential, and increase extinction …

Sex reversal in reptiles: reproductive oddity or powerful driver of evolutionary change?
Is sex a product of genes, the environment, or both? In this review, we describe the diversity
of sex-determining mechanisms in reptiles, with a focus on systems that display gene …
