Environmental sex determination is the establishment of sex by a non-genetic cue, such as nutrient availability, experienced within a discrete period after conception.
This is in contrast to genotypic sex determination, which establishes sex at conception by genetic factors such as sex chromosomes.
Environmental sex determination is different to some forms of sequential hermaphroditism in which the sex is determined flexibly after birth.
