ESCOBEDO-GALVAN, Armando H.. Temperature-dependent sex determination in an uncertain world: advances and perspectives. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2013, vol.84, n.2, pp.727-730. ISSN 2007-8706. https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.32441.
Recently, scientific attention has increased around the ecological and evolutionary effects of climate change on species with temperature-dependent sex determination (TSD). Arguably the most significant effect of climate change on TSD species will be the imbalance of sex ratios, which, in turn, would threaten population viability. Recent laboratory studies suggest that current climate change may not necessarily result in skewed sex ratios for most TSD species; these observations could challenge the current perception of interplay between climate change and TSD. Here, I present a brief review of the previous and new insights regarding ecological implications of TSD species to climatic changes.
