Multi-Ratio Presence–Pseudo-Absence Analysis of Sea Turtle Nesting Site Selection
Research context
Another major focus quantifies the influence of beach and dune geomorphology on nest-site selection. By integrating high-resolution topographic data with both presence and pseudo-absence nesting data, this work evaluates how physical landscape characteristics shape nesting probability at fine spatial scales. A complementary effort expands this framework by incorporating nested data structures that include both successful nests and false crawls, providing additional insight into the decision-making process underlying nesting attempts.
