Key concepts relevant to the properties of spatial and environmental variables used in seascape genomic analyses. These properties should be considered during the project design as they will influence which variables and what representative values of variables may be used. Moreover, these properties will help determine what methods are appropriate for analysis. The figure displays examples of the concepts in geographic space and their manifestations in analytical space. Points in the geographic space depict the location of sampling, and dashed lines represent a transect (Anisotropy, Example 1 only).
