“…Lack of variation in developmental rate between the sexes T. californicus lacks heteromorphic sex chromosomes, and has complex genetic and environmental mechanisms underlying sex determination (Alexander et al, 2015). Phenotypic differences between females and males have been well characterized for a number of traits in this species, including lifespan, viability, fertility, stress tolerances and gene expression patterns (Willett & Burton, 2001;Willett, 2010;Leong et al, 2018;Willett & Son, 2018;Foley et al, 2019;Li et al, 2019Li et al, , 2020Li et al, , 2022Flanagan et al, 2021Flanagan et al, , 2022Watson et al, 2022), and at least some of these sex-specific patterns have also been observed in inter-population hybrids. For instance, Li et al (2022) found that females had longer lifespans than males in F1 interpopulation hybrids, and Foley et al (2013) showed that differences in nuclear allele frequencies between reciprocal F2 hybrids (i.e., between alternate mitochondrial genotypes) were sexdependent, particularly for chromosome 10.…”
