## 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 temperatureโdependent sex determination (TSD), hatchling sex ratios differ between incubation temperatures, as does s

Eggs from congeneric gonochoristic and parthenogenetic whiptail lizards were incubated at various temperatures. There was no significant deviation from a sex ratio of one-half in the sexual species at any temperature, whereas no males were produced in the parthenogenetic species. Temperature-depende
## Abstract Among squamate reptiles, lizards exhibit an impressive array of sexโdetermining modes viz. genotypic sex determination, temperatureโdependent sex determination, coโoccurrence of both these and those that reproduce parthenogenetically. The oviparous lizard, __Calotes versicolor__, lacks
The sex of leopard geckoes is determined by incubation temperature. This study identified their temperature-sensitive period of sex determination by incubating embryos at a male-producing temperature (32 "C) and a female-producing temperature (26 "C) for various intervals of development and comparin
