AbstractMarine ecosystems are highly dynamic, and their connectivity is affected by a complex range of biological, spatial, and oceanographic factors. Incorporating connectivity as a factor in the planning and management of marine protected areas (MPAs) is important yet challenging. Here, we used intraspecific genetic and genomic data for five marine species with varying life histories to characterise connectivity across a recently established South Australian MPA network.
