✦ Synopsis

Eggs from congeneric gonochoristic and parthenogenetic whiptail lizards were incubated at various temperatures. There was no significant deviation from a sex ratio of one-half in the sexual species at any temperature, whereas no males were produced in the parthenogenetic species. Temperature-dependent sex determination appears to be completely absent in these lizards.

## Abstract Individual differences in the adult sexual behavior of vertebrates are rooted in the fetal environment. In the leopard gecko (__Eublepharis macularius__), a species with temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD), hatchling sex ratios differ between incubation temperatures, as does s

The extent to which variation within and between the sexes can be assigned to genes vs. environment is problematic, because, in most vertebrates, males and females differ genetically. However, factors other than sex chromosomes and the consequent sex-typical gonadal hormone secretions may play impor

## Abstract Summary: During vertebrate development the gonad has two possible fates, the testis or the ovary. The choice between these fates is made by a variety of sex‐determining mechanisms, from the sex‐determining gene on the Y chromosome (__Sry__) in mammals, to nongenetic temperature‐dependen
