Fig 5. Distance of reefs on the GBR from robust sources in terms of colonisation steps.

Fig 5

(A) Number of colonisation steps needed to reach reefs from robust sources after 1 day of dispersal. (B) Number of colonisation steps needed to reach reefs from robust sources after 30 days of dispersal. (C) Percentage of reefs that can be reached in a given number of consecutive colonisation steps as a function of maximum dispersal duration (measured in days since release). Values for a single colonisation step correspond to direct links. After 30 days of dispersal, >80% of the reefs were within 2, and >95% of the reefs were within 5, colonisation steps away from robust sources. Data provided in S1 Data. GBR, Great Barrier Reef.
