Rare sex reversal phenomenon found in Australian birds
A recent study has found that as much as 6% of wild birds in Australia exhibit sex reversal, where their genetic sex doesn't match their reproductive organs. The researchers analysed five common species, including kookaburras and lorikeets, and found sex reversal in all of them. The results were baffling to the team, Dominique Potvin, the co-author of the research, said.
