Fig. 22 in The Ecology And Migrations Of Sea Turtles 8. Tests Of The Developmental Habitat Hypothesis

Fig. 22. Mean, range, and one standard deviation for Chelonia mydas at three maturity stages (see Methods) at three study sites in Bermuda and Panama and at Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Sample size is shown below each bar. Maturity status is based on laparoscopy except for nesting females from Tortuguero. Statistics for stage 1 individuals in Panama are affected by the absence of small immatures at this site (see Results – C. mydas, Panama). Statistics for stage 2 individuals from Bermuda are affected by departure of stage 2 animals from Bermuda waters (see Departure – C. mydas, Bermuda). Data for nesting females were provided by Sebastian Troëng and the Sea Turtle Conservancy.
