摘      要：Most vertebrates present two sexes, and females and males are determined via two diverse strategies including geno-typic sex determination （GSD） and environmental sex de-termination （ESD） （Mei and Gui, 2015; Ma et al., 2016）. The most common form of ESD is temperature-dependent sex determination （TSD）. Although several master sex-de-termining genes and their molecular pathways have been elucidated in vertebrates with GSD, the molecular mechan-ism underlying TSD remains unclear （Bachtrog et al., 2014; Capel, 2017）.
