## 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 temperatureβdependent 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
