## Abstract Some previous studies indicate that the local hydric environment may influence sex determination in turtles with temperatureβdependent sex determination. In this study, the effect of a daily application of 0.77βmL of ddH~2~0 per egg using an incubation temperature of 29.1Β°C was examined
## 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 temperatureβdependent 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
