| Summary: | It was observed that 96% of the annual egg-laying occurs betwen November to March with maximum frecuencies on December (34%) and January (23%) -dry season-. There is no association (Pearson correlation) between percentage (%) of egg-laying average/month vs. rainfall, relative humidity (%) or temperature (r = -0.23; r = -0.08; r = 0.02 respectively) but it is positive in relation to light-hours/day (r = 0.42). |
