“…These can be broadly categorised into temperature-dependent sex determination, genetic sex determination [ 1 , 3 – 7 ] and systems where genotype and environment interact to determine sex [ 8 , 9 ]. Temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD)—where sex is determined by incubation temperature during the “thermosensitive period”—occurs in all crocodiles, many turtles, the tuatara, and seems to be the predominant mechanism of sex determination for lizards [ 10 15 ]. By contrast, genetically controlled sex determination (where genes on sex chromosomes determine sexual phenotypes; GSD) occurs in snakes and some lizards and turtles [ 3 , 16 20 ].…”

“…Some species show superior abilities to adapt to temperature changes, while others are adversely affected. For example, it has been shown that in an endangered turtle (Podocnemis lewyana), environmental sex determination (a form of phenotypic plasticity) is sensitive to temperature stability during the egg incubation period (Gómez-Saldarriaga et al, 2016). Another study demonstrated that declining species of springtails were more sensitive to desiccation under warmer temperatures as compared to invasive springtails (Chown et al, 2007).…”

“…While the presence of TSD in M. reevesii is well documented [Du et al, 2007], no study has determined the TSP for this turtle. Thus, we assumed that the target stages sampled here may encompass the early, middle, and late TSP in this species as it occurs in other cryptodiran turtles [Bull and Vogt, 1981], but we note that because the TSP can vary among closely related species [Bull and Vogt, 1981;Bieser and Wibbels, 2014;Gomez-Saldarriaga et al, 2016], further testing is needed to corroborate the validity of this assumption.…”
