Figure 2. Number of skinks detected over an hour of visual observations. A, At different times of the day during the hours that Orokonui Ecosanctuary was open; B, in relation to precipitation (Dry = no precipitation, 1 = light precipitation from low cloud, 2 = rain); C, in relation to temperature measured using a copper model of a skink placed in full sunlight (n = 20 observations; fitted line from the generalised additive model is shown); D, in response to the temperature measured in shade under a rock 20 cm into a retreat (n = 20 observations).
