Comparison of mean sea turtle hatchling metabolic rates (μL O2 min−1 g−0.67) at different activity levels post-frenzy. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals and we also report data from earlier studies on hatchling metabolic rates. We denote statistical differences among activity levels within species with *. We converted measurements in previous studies from a mass exponent of 1 to an exponent of 0.67 to correct for allometric relationships between metabolic rate and hatchling mass [79]. Statistical differences were determined using mixed-effects models and Tukey’s pairwise comparisons
