Ecological and evolutionary applications for environmental sex reversal of fish

A. McNair, P. M. Lokman, G. P. Closs and S. Nakagawa, Quarterly Review of Biology, 90:23-44. 2015.

Environmental sex reversal (ESR), which results in a mismatch between genotypic and phenotypic sex, is well documented in numerous fish species and may be induced by chemical exposure. Historically, research involving piscine ESR has been carried out with a view to improving ...

Sperm traits of masculinized fish relative to wild-type males: a systematic review and meta-analyses

A. M. Senior, S. L. Johnson and S. Nakagawa, Fish and Fisheries, 17:143-164. 2014.

Environmental sex reversal (ESR), whereby environmental effects (e.g. exogenous chemicals) override genetic sex determination, is a commonly used technique in aquaculture and physiology research. We performed a systematic review and meta-analyses of the literature that compares ...
