Table 1. Effect of PLD on dispersal distances, connectivity and larval export.
Variable | Slope | adj-R2 | p |
Dispersal distance (median) | 3.12±0.02 | 0.999 | <2.2⋅10−16 |
Dispersal distance (75th percentile) | 5.16±0.07 | 0.996 | <2.2⋅10−16 |
Connectance | 0.001174±0.000022 | 0.992 | <2.2⋅10−16 |
Number of strongly connected clusters | −1.24±0.12 | 0.831 | 5.57⋅10−9 |
Number of weakly connected clusters | −0.28±0.028 | 0.833 | 4.89⋅10−9 |
Fraction of larvae retained on continental shelf | −0.00366±0.00009 | 0.989 | <2.2⋅10−16 |
Fraction of shelf area not receiving larvae | −0.00596±0.00018 | 0.981 | <2.2⋅10−16 |
The effect of PLD on the variables was tested using linear regression. The slope of the regression lines is the increase in the response variable for a one-day increase in PLD.
