1 Predicting species interactions from edge responses: mongoose predation on hawksbill sea turtle nests in fragmented beach habitat by Patrick A Leighton, Julia A Horrocks, Barry H Krueger, Jennifer A Beggs, and Donald L Kramer Proceedings B Volume 275(1650):2465-2472 November 7, 2008 ©2008 by The Royal Society

2 Abundance responses of mongooses and hawksbill sea turtles to edges between open sand and patches of vegetation at Bath Beach in Barbados. Patrick A Leighton et al. Proc. R. Soc. B 2008;275:2465- 2472 ©2008 by The Royal Society

3 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;275:2465- 2472 ©2008 by The Royal Society

4 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).
