Critical metrics from analysis of Kemp’s ridley sea turtle nest counts (1966–2022). In (a), proportionate inter-annual differences (bars, first y-axis) summed to create a smooth cumulative series (solid black line, second y-axis) that best aligned with a periodicity- and amplitude-adjusted sine wave (black dashed line). In (b), cumulative hatchlings per nest (cHpN; solid line, first y-axis) and deviation from asymptotic cHpN (dashed line, second y-axis) systematically increased from 1968 through 2007.
