We explore this variation in field-based studies with two species, the Caribbean bluehead wrasse that exhibits female-to-male functional sex change under social control and the southern flounder where sex determination is influenced by temperature. The transduction of environmental cues into sex determination responses remains poorly understood despite decades of study, but some basic principles are becoming clear from these studies. Both estrogen production in the gonads and brain and the endocrine stress response appear to play important roles in guiding environmental sex determination and do so through effects on conserved sex determination pathways. The mechanisms for these responses provide a fascinating example of how sex can adapt to environmental conditions and a useful system for studying phenotypic plasticity more generally. |
