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

## Abstract Temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD) occurs in three orders of reptiles. Several studies have examined the ability of estradiol to produce female hatchlings incubated at a male‐producing 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
