FigShare data

The data you are referring to involves connectivity matrices and associated materials for modeling larval dispersal and connectivity. This includes a total of 36 matrices: 18 regional matrices covering the Eastern Mediterranean and 18 local ones specific to the Israel region, as detailed in Table 4 of the manuscript. The scenarios outlined are as follows:Nemipterus randalliParupeneus forsskaliMugil cephalusEpinephelus costaeScyllarides latusNemipterus randalli (MPAs)Parupeneus forsskali (MPAs)Mugil cephalus (MPAs)Epinephelus costae (MPAs)Scyllarides latus (MPAs)2_0_0_021_0_0_021_0_2.5_3021_0_5_1521_0_5_3021_0.2_0_021_0.4_0_040_0_0_0These scenarios possibly represent different species and conditions, including those involving Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), as well as various parameters relevant to the dispersal models. This structured approach allows for analyzing connectivity patterns and the effects of different scenarios on larval distribution in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
