Objective The biological effects of the herbicide atrazine on freshwater vertebrates are
highly controversial. In an effort to resolve the controversy, we conducted a qualitative meta …

Although the molecular mechanisms underlying many developmental events are conserved
across vertebrate taxa, the lability at the top of the sex‐determining (SD) cascade has been …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental aspect of life. It is defined by the occurrence of meiosis
and the fusion of two gametes of different sexes or mating types. Sex-determination …

The canonical model of sex-chromosome evolution predicts that, as recombination is
suppressed along sex chromosomes, gametologs will progressively differentiate, eventually …

As part of an overall decline in biodiversity, populations of many organisms are declining
and species are being lost at unprecedented rates around the world. This includes many …

Contrary to classic theory prediction, sex-chromosome homomorphy is prevalent in the
animal kingdom but it is unclear how ancient homomorphic sex chromosomes avoid …

Amphibians and reptiles will be adversely affected by projected rapid changes in climate in
the next decades. Here, we review the known and potential impacts of climate change on …

Die fortgesetzte Suche nach dem einzelnen ‚geschlechtsdeterminierenden Gen ': SRY als
TDF? 250 Downstream von SRY–weitere Gene, die hierarchisch unterhalb von SRY als an …

Several hypotheses explain the prevalence of undifferentiated sex chromosomes in
poikilothermic vertebrates. Turnovers change the master sex determination gene, the 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 …
