Loggerhead Sea Turtle Hatching Success Study Data

These data were collected as part of the loggerhead sea turtle hatching success study which examined the role of different environmental parameters on hatching success on Ossabaw Island beaches in Georgia, USA. Field data collected includes nest ID, lay date, inventory date, location, dune strike and dip, elevation, eggs in clutch, incubation period, chamber depth, vegetation cover, sediment moisture content, distance to high tide line, number of washovers, nest temperature, and the numbers of hatched and unhatched eggs at the end of the incubation period. The dataset also contains Rcode for the structural equation modeling used in this study.
