## Abstract Cellular infiltrations forming lymphoid‐like aggregates were previously observed in gonads of two turtle species exhibiting temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD): at hatching in __Chelydra__ __serpentina__; at and after hatching in __Emys__ __orbicularis__. We show here that suc
## Abstract Cytochrome P450 aromatase (P450arom), an enzyme that converts testosterone to 17β‐estradiol, is an important mediator of sex determination in teleosts with genetic sex determination (GSD) and temperature‐dependent sex determination (TSD). We compared the ontogenetic expression of P450ar
## Abstract Red‐eared slider turtles are genetically bipotential for sex determination. In this species, as in many other reptiles, incubation temperature of the egg determines gonadal sex. At higher incubation temperatures females are produced and increasing temperature appears to increase estroge
