Figure 1

Olive ridley hatching success (%) between various treatments, partitioned according to maternal nesting tactic. Eggs (N = 686) were collected from either non-arribada (N = 387) or arribada nesting events (N = 299) and placed in either normoxia (21% O2; control), or hypoxia (1% O2) for 3, 3.5, 4, 8, 15, or 30 days. After their respective treatments all eggs were returned to normoxia. When letters above each bar are the same, there was no significant between-group difference for each nesting tactic in hatching success (Bonferroni corrected Chi-squared test with 21 pair-wise comparisons; p ≤ 0.05). A line and asterisk (*) above treatment group indicates significant between-nesting tactic difference in hatching success within each treatment according to a Fisher’s exact test (p ≤ 0.05).
