Fig. 7. Results of combined magnetic and visual impairment experiment. Each dot
represents the angular difference between an individual turtle's mean heading
on Day 2 versus Day 1. Turtles wearing frosted goggles and fitted
with brass bars maintained an orientation direction from Day 1 to Day 2, while
those bearing frosted goggles and magnets did not do so. (A) Brass bars +
frosted goggles; mean angle=31°, r=0.69, P<0.01 V-test,
95% confidence interval ±41°; (B) South-up magnets + frosted
goggles; mean angle=196°, r=0.65, NS V-test; (C) North-up magnets +
frosted goggles; mean angle=110°, r=0.37, NS V-test. See text for
statistical comparison of distributions. NS, not significant.
