Trends and predictors of clutch frequency and size in loggerhead turtle from Sal Island.

Images:  Figure 5. Trends and predictors of clutch frequency and size in loggerhead turtle from Sal Island. (a) Negative trend observed in clutch frequency between 2008-2024. (b) Clutch frequency is best predicted by chlorophyll-a (CHL) at foraging ground. (c) Declining trend in clutch size from 2008 to 2024. Shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals. (d) Three-way interaction plot showing the trade-off between chlorophyll-a (CHL) at the foraging ground, turtle curved carapace length (CCL) and sea surface temperature (SST). GLMM: Bonferroni-adjusted p-value: 0.047.
