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 …

Among tetrapods, the well differentiated heteromorphic sex chromosomes of birds and
mammals have been highly investigated and their master sex-determining (MSD) gene …

Distribution of sex-determining mechanisms across Australian agamids shows no clear
phylogenetic segregation, suggesting multiple transitions between temperature-dependent …

Among squamate reptiles, lizards exhibit an impressive array of sex‐determining modes viz.
genotypic sex determination, temperature‐dependent sex determination, co‐occurrence of …

An orthologue of Dmrt1 has been cloned and characterized in the lizard, Calotes versicolor
(CvDmrt1). CvDmrt1 encodes alternatively spliced transcripts in genital ridge during gonadal …

The differentiation and development of the testis in the lizard Calotes versicolor was studied
histologically and histoenzymatically from the day of oviposition (stage 27) to 2 months after …

There is evidence that the Asian agamid Calotes versicolor (DAUDIN, 1802), the crested
tree lizard, is now established on Ste Anne Island in Seychelles, and it is reported to be …

Animal species have evolved diverse reproductive strategies to maximize their reproductive
success. Studies on the Indian garden lizard (Calotes versicolor) have recently revealed …

The copulatory neuromuscular system of green anoles is sexually dimorphic and
differentiates during embryonic development, although details of the process were unknown …

In nonmammalian vertebrates, steroids have been hypothesized to induce somatic sex
differentiation, since manipulations of the steroidal environment of gonads have led to …
