요약 | Across vertebrate taxa, the mechanisms underlying how individuals develop into one sex or another are remarkably variable. At one end of the spectrum, sex determination can be strictly genotypic, as observed in all mammals and birds, relying sol |
요약 | Previously, myself and colleagues reported a unique pattern: at metamorphosis, green frog (Rana clamitans) sex ratios were consistently male-biased in several ponds surrounded by entirely forested environments and became more dominated by female |
요약 | The five chapters comprising this dissertation aim to tease apart the genetic and environmental contributions to sex determination in wild amphibian populations and to understand whether sex reversal is a contributing force underlying sex ratio |
요약 | This dissertation challenges the presiding paradigm that sex in amphibians in strictly genetic and highlights a novel role for environmentally-mediated sex determination and sex ratio variation in wild frogs. Collectively, my body of work demons |
