Article Synopsis
- The Australian redclaw crayfish displays a unique WZ/ZZ genetic sex determination system, where intersexual individuals can function as males despite having a female genotype (WZ males).
- Researchers developed W/Z genomic sex markers to investigate crayfish populations in Australia, successfully identifying the presence of rare WW females in nature.
- Population dynamics modeling revealed that intersexuals positively impact the growth rates of crayfish populations, supporting species survival and adaptation in their fragmented habitats, particularly through drought and flood cycles.
Screening for Dmrt genes from embryo to mature Macrobrachium rosenbergii prawns.

October 2019
The doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor (Dmrt) gene family is known to be related to the sexual regulators doublesex of arthropods and mab-3 of annelids and to hold highly conserved functions in sexual determination and differentiation across phyla. Here, we report a study of the Dmrt gene family in the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, a crustacean whose sexual differentiation has been widely researched. A wide transcriptomic screen, from the embryo to the adult M.
