Potential dispersal of Mithraculus sculptus over twelve coral reef systems in the Gulf of Mexico.
Values represent a percentage of particles related to the maximum number of particles per unit area.
Fig 4.
Connectivity matrix of Mithraculus sculptus among twelve coral reef systems in the Gulf of Mexico.
Values represent the percentage of larvae arriving from the starting sites (rows) to the final destinations (columns). Red, recorded in adult stage in this reef; blue, potential colonization from the red sites; black, neither recorded as adult nor potentially colonized.
