WAMSI 2 - Kimberley Node - Project 1.1.3 - Ecological connectivity of Kimberley marine communities (ECU - AIMS)
The overarching objective is to infer the routine distances of dispersal and patterns of connectivity among key populations within the Kimberley. Nine sub-projects will address this objective. The data provided by these methods are complimentary, and each improves the others. The projects and objectives can be summarised as:
- Existing samples and desktop study
- Genetic analyses
- Coral stock-recruitment and larval durations
- Fish otolith microchemistry
Genotypes data have been generated from seven marine organisms:
- Tectus niloticus - gastropod (CSIRO)
- Pomacentrus milleri - fish (CSIRO)
- Lutjanus carponotatus - fish (CSIRO)
- Halophila ovalis - seagrass (ECU)
- Thalassia hemprichii - seagrass (ECU)
- Isopora brueggmanni - coral (AIMS)
- Acropora aspera - coral (AIMS)
There is a CSIRO metadata record that describes data for Tectus niloticus; Pomacentrus milleri and Lutjanus carponotatus (http://www.marlin.csiro.au/geonetwork/srv/eng/search#!0d389dab-d6e2-4895-ba09-389e689b565e)
