Uniform female-biased sex ratios in alpine willows [PDF]
, 2012 Premise of the study: The development of biased sex ratios in dioecious plant species has been ascribed to either (1) factors influencing differential adult mortality of male and female plants or (2) factors acting at an early life stage that determine ...

'They did not have a word': the parental quest to locate a 'true sex' for their intersex children [PDF]
, 2008 Given the paucity of research in this area, the primary aim of this study was to explore how parents of infants with unclear sex at birth made sense of 'intersex'.

Widespread sex differences in gene expression and splicing in the adult human brain. [PDF]
, 2013 There is strong evidence to show that men and women differ in terms of neurodevelopment, neurochemistry and susceptibility to neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disease. The molecular basis of these differences remains unclear. Progress in this field

Pattern Does Not Equal Process: Exactly When Is Sex Environmentally Determined?
The American Naturalist, 2003 Of prime importance in evolutionary biology are the description of pattern and explanations of process. Frequently, however, multiple processes can explain a given pattern. Such cases require experimental protocols or research criteria to distinguish among alternatives so pattern can be critically assigned to process.

Temperature-dependent turnovers in sex-determination mechanisms: a quantitative model [PDF]
, 2010 Sex determination is often seen as a dichotomous process: individual sex is assumed to be determined either by genetic (genotypic sex determination, GSD) or by environmental factors (environmental sex determination, ESD), most often temperature ...

Context-dependent thermolability of sex determination in a lacertid lizard with heteromorphic sex chromosomes [PDF]
, 2023 Developmental conditions can profoundly impact key life history traits of the individual. In cases where offspring sex is driven by developmental reaction norms, permanent changes to the phenotype can fundamentally alter life history trajectories.

Sex determination in the Squalius alburnoides complex: an initial characterization of sex cascade elements in the context of a hybrid polyploid genome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Sex determination processes vary widely among different vertebrate taxa, but no group offers as much diversity for the study of the evolution of sex determination as teleost fish. However, the knowledge about sex determination gene cascades is
