Abstract
A graphical model is presented of temperature-dependent sex determination in alligators. Temperature determines sex because it affects the developmental rate of some tissues more than others. Embryos develop as males if a male-inducing signal is produced before the gonads become insensitive to the signal. This model is compared to recent models of genotypic sex determination in mammals.
