Male leopard geckos that hatch from eggs incubated at a female-biased temperature (T f ) behave differently when compared with males hatching at a temperature which produces a male-biased sex ratio (T m ). We investigated the effect of incubation temperature and androgen implantation on aspects of t

Androgens and estrogens are crucial for the differentiation and function of the vocal control system of songbirds. A major source of estrogens in songbirds is the cerebral aromatization of circulating testosterone by aromatase (ARO). In the vocal control system, songbirds have a unique estrogen rece
## Abstract Temperatureβdependent sex determination (TSD) occurs in three orders of reptiles. Several studies have examined the ability of estradiol to produce female hatchlings incubated at a maleβproducing temperature. The results of these experiments support the idea that estradiol could be used
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
Songbirds have a complex neural network for learning and production of song, namely the neural song system. Several nuclei of the song system contain androgen receptors (AR), and the neostriatal nucleus HVc also contains alpha type estrogen receptors (ER). Many songbird species show seasonal changes
