Ectothermic vertebrates with genotypic sex determination may adjust their sexual phenotype to early-life environmental conditions by reversal, diverse theoretical consequences for population dynamics and microevolution. Environments frequent sex-reversing effects select or against sex-reversal propensity depending on the relative fitness of sex-reversed individuals. Yet, empirical data adaptive value evolutionary potential rex reversal is scarce. Using a common-garden experiment agile frogs (Rana dalmatina) that respond larval heat stress we demonstrate rate higher in sibgroups originating from anthropogenic habitats where events are more frequent, compared populations inhabiting cooler woodlands. Furthermore, among genotypically female juveniles, phenotypic males larger than sex-concordant females. These results suggest increased environments Thus, provide an strategy ectothermic cope challenges Anthropocene.
