I have some new results that might help.
As you saw in my blog post, loggerhead hatchlings react strongly to artificial white light from streetlights. White light is a mix of many colors of light, including violet, blue-green, orange, and red.
My lab wanted to find out if different colors of light have different effects on hatchlings. So, we ran four experiments using a different color of light each time. In each experiment, we set up a different color light at the end of a hallway. We observed 30 hatchlings to see whether they would crawl toward the light. You can see our results below.
Which hypothesis could not be tested by these experiments?
