Phenotypic sex of hatching painted turtles (Chrysemys picta), a species known to exhibit temperature-dependent sex determination, is influenced by the hydric environment to which developing embryos are subjected. Hatching sex ratios vary significantly over the range of 26.5 to 28.5 degrees C due to effects of the hydric environment.
已知彩龟(锦龟)表现出温度依赖型性别决定,其孵化时的表型性别受发育中的胚胎所处的含水环境影响。由于含水环境的作用,在26.5至28.5摄氏度范围内,孵化出的性别比例差异显著。
