Sex determination, longevity, and the birth and death of reptilian species

N Sabath, Y Itescu, A Feldman, S Meiri… - Ecology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Vertebrate sex‐determining mechanisms (SDM s) are triggered by the genotype (GSD), by

Microclimate of American crocodile nests in Banco Chinchorro biosphere reserve, Mexico: effect on incubation length, embryos survival and hatchlings sex

P Charruau - Journal of Thermal Biology, 2012 - Elsevier
Crocodilians have temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) in which incubation
temperature determines sex of embryo. Global warming is expected to alter hatchling sex …

[HTML][HTML] Dispersal and climate warming determine range shift in model reptile populations

M Boyle, L Schwanz, J Hone, A Georges - Ecological Modelling, 2016 - Elsevier
Average air temperature is predicted to rise by at least 3° C across the 21st century. As
individual sex (male or female) is determined by temperature in many reptiles, there are …
