Connectivity matrices for seven benthic species

Summary

These are connectivity matrices calculated from the results of Lagrangian models (GITM forced with GETM) for the period 2001-2010 and for seven benthic species:

Alcyonium digitatum, Echinus esculentus, Lophelia pertusa, Metridium senile var. dianthus, Porifera, Mythilus edulis and Crepidula fornicata.

The paper describing the calculation of these matrices and the analysis can be found in:

Technical Information

Update frequency: notPlanned
Lineage: The data were produced by analysing the results of the Lagrangian model GITM. The connectivity was calculated between the sectors described in `https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-32912-2`_. Each connectivity matrix has a first row and a first column with numbers that represent the polygons from where the particles are released and the polygons to where they arrive. They are exactly the same. The numbers are the polygon number in a 15 x 15km grid, written as a list of polygons which is included in a file called grid_15x15km_def.txt. This provides the geografical location of the polygons. For each species we provide: A connectivity matrix that combines the information for all the simulation years (2001-2010) .. _`https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-32912-2`: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-32912-2
