Description

This is a database of marine invertebrate dispersal parameters and species ranges along the East Coast of North America.

The raw data for range was gathered from occurrence data in the GBIF dataset.

Life history was gathered from a Literature Review.

The complete dataset methodology is detailed in Pappalardo P, Pringle J, Wares J, and J Byers (2015): The location, strength, and mechanisms behind marine biogeographic boundaries of the east coast of North America. Ecography 38: 001–010, 2015
