Developmental asynchrony and antagonism of sex determination pathways in a lizard with temperature-induced sex reversal

Abstract Vertebrate sex differentiation follows a conserved suite of developmental events: the bipotential gonads differentiate and shortly thereafter sex specific traits become dimorphic. However, this may not apply to squamates, a diverse vertebrate lineage comprising of many species with thermose...
