This article reviews and discusses ecological factors that affect sex chromosome evolution. Sex chromosomes are common features of animal genomes, and are often the location where master sex determination genes are found. Many important aspects of sex chromosome evolution are thought to be driven by sex-specific selection pressures, such as sexual antagonism and sexual selection. Sex-specific selection affects both the formation of sex chromosomes from autosomes and differences in the evolutionary trajectories between sex chromosomes and autosomes. Most population genetic models are agnostic as to whether the sex-specific selection pressures arise from intrinsic features of organismal biology or extrinsic factors that depend on environment. Here, I review the evidence that extrinsic, or ecological, factors are important determinants of sex-specific selection pressures that shape sex chromosome evolution.
