“…Other sources include livestock waste runoff (Yost et al, 2013), effluent from human wastewater (Belfroid et al, 1999;Sun et al, 2013), pulp and paper mills (Jenkins et al, 2001;Jenkins et al, 2003), and crop production in intensive agricultural areas (crops are sources of naturally-occurring phytoestrogens) (Kolpin et al, 2010). Disruption of the endocrine system by environmental EDCs is an established phenomenon in wildlife and plants (Adeel et al, 2017;Murray et al, 2017;UNEP/WHO, 2012). Evidence of adverse effects on human reproductive and thyroid systems is also growing (Annamalai and Namasivayam, 2015; UNEP/WHO, 2012), and EDCs are hypothesized risk factors for some hormone-related malignancies (Adeel et al, 2017;Street et al, 2018).…”

“…Control groups received 5 μL of 95% ethanol (ETOH) and treatment groups received 5 μL of 100 μg/mL of 17α-MT in 95% ETOH solution. This dosage for treatment groups is known to masculinize experimental alligator embryos in ovo at strong female-producing temperatures and resembles that observed in wild Crocodylus acutus hatchling plasma (Murray et al, 2016(Murray et al, , 2017. Upon hatching, alligators were uniquely marked via caudal scute removal and placed into individual opaque 36 in.…”

“…These studies do not control environmental factors that may differ between clutches produced by different females. For example, the amount of endocrine disruptors found in eggs can vary geographically (Kelly, Eisenreich, Baker, & Rowe, ; Murray et al., ). Thus, variation in TSD among clutches collected from the wild is consistent with both genetic effects and maternal effects.…”
