Climate-linked sex reversal threatens agile frog reproduction
Quick dive
- Research on agile frogs has linked climate conditions with sex reversal.
- Sex-reversed male frogs sire fewer offspring than typical males.
- Sex-reversed males are more vulnerable to heat and disease.
- The findings indicate that climate stress can affect both sex development and reproductive success.
- exam_relevance: The topic is relevant to climate-change biology, amphibian conservation, ecological resilience and biodiversity loss.
