Delimitation of the embryonic thermosensitive period for sex determination using an embryo growth model reveals a potential bias for sex ratio prediction in turtles
The sexual phenotype of the gonad is dependent on incubation temperature in many turtles,
all crocodilians, and some lepidosaurians. At hatching, identification of sexual phenotype is …
