Exogenous application of estradiol to eggs unexpectedly induces male development in two turtle species with temperature-dependent sex determination

Highlights • We evaluate the effects of temperature, estradiol, and aromatase inhibition on sex determination. • Aromatase inhibition had no effect on gonadal sex in two turtles with environmental sex determination. • Exogenous application of estradiol to eggs induced male gonad development. • These...
