Description

This dataset consists of connectivity matrices (provided as two spreadsheet files) for 2 mussel species (Mytilus californianus and Mytilus galloprovincialis) in Southern California. Larval connectivity matrices depict sites of origin (natal sites) and sites of recruitment.

Methods & Sampling

Larval connectivity data are based on trace elemental fingerprinting. Reference algorithms are based on shell chemistry of larvae outplanted at study sites.
