Fig. 1: The geographic distribution of sex reversal in Bassiana duperreyi.

From: High elevation increases the risk of Y chromosome loss in Alpine skink populations with sex reversal

Fig. 1

A Sites where sex reversal was detected (the presence of XX males) are indicated with red circles (Populations: 1. Mt Ginini, 2. Mt Kosciuszko, 3. Piccadilly Circus, 4 and 5. Coree Flat East and West (Coree Flat West population assigned to the Coree Flat East population due to low number of samples), 6. Cooma, 7. Shelley). No sex reversal was detected in the lowest elevation within Alpine OTU (8. Dartmouth; orange circle), nor in the genetically distinct Coastal OTU (9. Westernport Bay, 10. Anglesea; yellow circles). B Pie charts indicate the relative proportion of XY males (black) and sex-reversed XX males (red) in each sampling location, N = total number of phenotypic males collected in each location.
