aIn animals, gonochorous is used in place of dioecy.

bTSD: general term when reaction norm with temperature is not specified. TSD Ia: males produced at low temperatures and females at high temperature. TSD Ib: females produced at low temperatures and males at high temperature. TSD II: females produced at low and high temperatures, males produced at intermediate values.
