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.
