SCIENTIFIC REPORTS, 9.
MeSH headings : Animals; Animals, Wild / physiology; Ecosystem; Female; Fishes / anatomy & histology; Fishes / physiology; Gonads / metabolism; Hot Temperature; Male; North Carolina; RNA, Messenger / genetics; RNA, Messenger / metabolism; Sex Determination Processes; Sex Ratio; Water
TL;DR:
Rearing flounder in the laboratory under temperature regimes mimicking those of natural habitats recapitulated sex ratio differences observed across the wild populations, providing strong evidence that temperature is a key factor influencing sex ratios in nursery habitats.
