Fig. 1. Effects of a laboratory simulation of summer and winter conditions on (A) oxygen consumption (O2), (B) breathing frequency (fB), and (C) percent time spent active of captive juvenile green turtles. Filled bars represent simulated summer conditions (TW=26°C, photoperiod 14 h:10 h light:dark) and open bars represent simulated winter conditions (TW=17°C, photoperiod 10.25 h:13.75 h light:dark). Variables were measured during exposure to summer conditions before and after the winter simulation (26-pre and 26-post, respectively) and after 8 weeks and 16 weeks exposure to winter conditions (17-8w and 17-16w, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in O2 (P=0.059), fB (P=0.288) or percent time spent active (P=0.400) between treatment groups. N=5 for all treatment groups except 26-post, in which N=4.
