## Abstract Gonadal sex differentiation is controlled by the temperature of egg incubation in the sea turtle __Lepidochelys olivacea__. The physiological mechanism involved in this phenomenon is not understood. Here, we studied the differentiation of gonads isolated from embryos at different stages

Under culture conditions, sex ratios in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.) are consistently skewed in favor of males. Moreover, no heteromorphic sex chromosomes have been shown for this species. This bias towards males could be due to a possible effect of environmental factors on sex di
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
