Early environments can profoundly influence an organism in ways that persist over its life. In
reptiles, early thermal environments (nest temperatures) can impact offspring phenotype and …

Early life environments shape phenotypic development in important ways that can lead to
long‐lasting effects on phenotype and fitness. In reptiles, one aspect of the early …

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 …

Background Vertebrates exhibit diverse sex determination systems and reptiles stand out by
having highly variable sex determinations that include temperature-dependent and …

Sea turtles present a model for the potential impacts of climate change on imperiled species,
with projected warming generating concern about their persistence. Various sea turtle life …

In this review, we consider the insight that has been gained through theoretical examination
of environmental sex determination (ESD) and thermolability–how theory has progressed …

Cell death is physiologically induced by specific mediators. However, our power to trigger
the process in selected cells is quite limited. The protandric shrimp Hippolyte inermis offers a …

Species displaying temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD) are especially
vulnerable to the effects of a rapidly changing global climate due to their profound sensitivity …

Anthropogenic environmental change poses a special threat to species in which genetic sex
determination can be overwritten by the thermal and chemical environment. Endocrine …

Understanding gonadal development in lampreys is complicated by their complex life cycle,
the long period during which their gonads remain histologically undifferentiated, and their …
