GAMMs of predation risk for (a) artificial nests over a 24 hour period (n=204) and (b) hawksbill sea turtle nests over a 60-day incubation period (n=301) across the open sand-vegetation edge. Patrick A Leighton et al. Proc. R. Soc. B 2008;275: ©2008 by The Royal Society

Frequency of predated hawksbill sea turtle nests recorded from 1999 to 2005 across the open beach-vegetation edge (bars) and distribution of mortality predicted by the product of continuous edge response functions for mongooses and hawksbills (solid line).
