Fig. 2. For time/depth-recorder-equipped turtles, the depth distribution recorded as individuals travelled back to Ascension Island. (A–E) The percentage of time spent in each 1 m depth increment, revealing a bimodal pattern of depth utilisation, with peaks near the surface and between approximately 10 and 20 m. (F–J) The near-surface depth distribution in more detail, showing the percentage of time spent in 20 cm depth increments excluding dives deeper than 5 m.
