## Abstract Sex determination in major vertebrate groups appears to be very variable, including systems of male heterogamety, female heterogamety and a variety of genetic and environmental sex determining systems. Yet comparative studies of sex chromosomes and sex determining genes now suggest that
Animals have evolved a bewildering diversity of mechanisms to determine the two sexes. Studies of sex determination genes β their history and function β in non-model insects and __Drosophila__ have allowed us to begin to understand the generation of sex determination diversity. One common theme from
## Abstract In many vertebrate species, sex is determined at fertilization of zygotes by sex chromosome composition, knows as genotypic sex determination (GSD). But in some speciesβfish, amphibians and reptilesβsex is determined by environmental factors; in particular by temperatureβdependent sex d
