Funded Activity Summary

Sex in Dragons: Evolution of sex determination in reptiles. Australia is a leader in sex determination research with major advances in our understanding attributable to Australian researchers and laboratories. This project will contribute to our prestige as a nation capable of contributing cutting edge research directions and stimulating ideas in human sex determination. Moreover, many reptiles have temperature-dependent sex determination, and so would appear appallingly vulnerable to climate change. Our project, will bring improved understanding of sex determination in reptiles, identify evolutionary responses of reptiles to climate change, and assist by informing society on how we might manage this issue into the future conservation of these unique Australian reptiles.
