Ecological and evolutionary applications for environmental sex reversal of fishA. 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 ...

Demographic effects on the use of genetic options for the control of mosquitofish, Gambusia holbrookiR. E. Thresher, M. Canning and N. J. Bax, Ecological Applications, 23:801-814. 2013.![]() This study tests the sensitivity of genetically based pest control options based on sex ratio distortion to intra-and intersexual aggressive interactions that affect male and female survival and fitness. Data on these interactions and their impacts were gathered for the ...
