Add to ORKGThe dispersal of coral larvae away from their natal habitats is an important process for coral reef ecosystems, but remains poorly understood and hard to gauge. This thesis presents a spatially explicit numerical modelling approach to simulate larval dispersal in Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR), and in doing so to estimate connectivity between the thousands of reefs that comprise it. A high resolution, finite element ocean model, SLIM, is used to build a biophysical model of larval dispersal capable of estimating larval exchange between reefs in large sections of the the GBR. Tools from network science are employed to investigate the community structure of the GBR's connectivity network, and these tools are used to reveal the presence ...
