Modelling dispersal and connectivity of broadcast spawning corals at the global scale
Description: In this study scientists develop the first global model of connectivity for a generic broadcast spawning coral, and compare the results to connectivity estimates from genetic studies, general biogeographic patterns and theories. They also derive various 'connectivity indices' describing relative isolation and source potential between locations. This study provides a global view of connectivity that complements genetic and biogeographic work as well as providing a number of novel findings relevant to biogeographic theories. [Source:
