Reconstructing thicket clump formation using association rules analysis

AbstractAimVegetation change such as woody encroachment is characterised by changing species interactions, and processes such as competition and facilitation may be inferred from patterns of association between juveniles and mature individuals of different species. Our aim was to apply and evaluate association rules analysis (ARA), a rule‐based data‐mining technique more commonly known as market basket analysis, as a novel tool to examine the associations between woody species in different demographic stages along a thicket encroachment gradient.LocationThe research was conducted in a subtropical thicket–savanna mosaic (730 mm mean annual rainfall) in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.MethodsWe used a space‐for‐time substitution approach and sampled woody plants in different size classes at sites representing early, intermediate and late stages of encroachment. All individuals were recorded as occurring singly or in unique clumps. We used ARA to determine which associations between species in different size classes were common overall, and more common than expected, at each of the three encroachment stages.ResultsThe most important association rules indicated that Vachellia karroo recruited singly and in large numbers in open grassland and, once mature, provided nucleation sites for a small suite of species dominated by Scutia myrtina. In the later stages, multiple diverse associations were found in increasingly large clumps.ConclusionsOur sampling approach and ARA proved useful for characterising common species‐size class associations, illuminating changing species interactions and recruitment patterns along a thicket clump formation sequence. In studies of vegetation change, ARA can complement multivariate analyses of species composition to reveal specific associations, and it can provide a less laborious alternative to point‐pattern analysis for elucidating spatial associations.

SH3Ps recruit auxilin-like vesicle uncoating factors for clathrin-mediated endocytosis

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) is an essential process of cargo uptake operating in all eukaryotes. In animals and yeast, BAR-SH3 domain proteins, endophilins and amphiphysins, function at the conclusion of CME to recruit factors for vesicle scission and uncoating. Arabidopsis thaliana contains the BAR-SH3 domain proteins SH3P1-SH3P3, but their role is poorly understood. Here, we identify SH3Ps as functional homologs of endophilin/amphiphysin. SH3P1-SH3P3 bind to discrete foci at the plasma membrane (PM), and SH3P2 recruits late to a subset of clathrin-coated pits. The SH3P2 PM recruitment pattern is nearly identical to its interactor, a putative uncoating factor, AUXILIN-LIKE1. Notably, SH3P1-SH3P3 are required for most of AUXILIN-LIKE1 recruitment to the PM. This indicates a plant-specific modification of CME, where BAR-SH3 proteins recruit auxilin-like uncoating factors rather than the uncoating phosphatases, synaptojanins. SH3P1-SH3P3 act redundantly in overall CME with the plant-specific endocytic adaptor TPLATE complex but not due to an SH3 domain in its TASH3 subunit.

Two Septin complexes mediate actin dynamics during cell wound repair

Cells have robust wound repair systems to prevent further damage or infection and to quickly restore cell cortex integrity when exposed to mechanical and chemical stress. Actomyosin ring formation and contraction at the wound edge are major events during closure of the plasma membrane and underlying cytoskeleton during cell wound repair. Here, we show that all five Drosophila Septins are required for efficient cell wound repair. Based on their different recruitment patterns and knockdown/mutant phenotypes, two distinct Septin complexes, Sep1/Sep2/Pnut and Sep4/Sep5/Pnut, are assembled to regulate actin ring assembly, contraction, and remodeling during the repair process. Intriguingly, we find that these two Septin complexes have different F-actin bending activities. In addition, we find that Anillin regulates the recruitment of only one of two Septin complexes upon wounding. Our results demonstrate that two functionally distinct Septin complexes work side by side to discretely regulate actomyosin ring dynamics during cell wound repair.

Default mode network shows distinct emotional and contextual responses yet common effects of retrieval demands across tasks.

The default mode network (DMN) lies towards the heteromodal end of the principal gradient of intrinsic connectivity, maximally separated from the sensory-motor cortex. It supports memory-based cognition, including the capacity to retrieve conceptual and evaluative information from sensory inputs, and to generate meaningful states internally; however, the functional organisation of DMN that can support these distinct modes of retrieval remains unclear. We used fMRI to examine whether activation within subsystems of DMN differed as a function of retrieval demands, or the type of association to be retrieved, or both. In a picture association task, participants retrieved semantic associations that were either contextual or emotional in nature. Participants were asked to avoid generating episodic associations. In the generate phase, these associations were retrieved from a novel picture, while in the switch phase, participants retrieved a new association for the same image. Semantic context and emotion trials were associated with dissociable DMN subnetworks, indicating that a key dimension of DMN organisation relates to the type of association being accessed. The frontotemporal and medial temporal DMN showed a preference for emotional and semantic contextual associations, respectively. Relative to the generate phase, the switch phase recruited clusters closer to the heteromodal apex of the principal gradient-a cortical hierarchy separating unimodal and heteromodal regions. There were no differences in this effect between association types. Instead, memory switching was associated with a distinct subnetwork associated with controlled internal cognition. These findings delineate distinct patterns of DMN recruitment for different kinds of associations yet common responses across tasks that reflect retrieval demands.

A Larval “Recruitment Kernel” to Predict Hatching Locations and Quantify Recruitment Patterns

AbstractLarval recruitment, a critical component of population connectivity, has been under investigated compared to larval dispersal. We developed a backward‐in‐time Lagrangian particle tracking model to predict larval hatching locations and proposed a larval recruitment kernel, to quantify recruitment patterns. Combining field data and a hydrodynamic model, our backtracking model predicted Lake Whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) hatching locations in Lake Erie. We found a strong linear correlation (r = 0.95–0.98) between travel distance (i.e., distance along a trajectory) and pelagic larval duration (PLD), and a moderate correlation (r = 0.66–0.68) between linear distance (i.e., displacement) and PLD. This questions the wide use of PLD as a proxy for dispersal distance. We defined the recruitment kernel using the probability density function of the linear recruitment distance. Characteristics of the recruitment kernel, such as theoretical self‐recruitment, median‐recruitment distance, long‐distance recruitment, and openness convey significant information about population connectivity that are distinct from those derived using the well‐known dispersal kernel (e.g., theoretical local retention).

Proses Pengadaan Sumber Daya Manusia Perangkat Desa di Kabupaten Sidoarjo

The implementation of village government cannot be separated from the role of village officials in realizing public services and good governance. Recruitment and selection of village officials need to be carried out strictly to obtain quality human resources. This study aims to describe the recruitment and selection patterns of village officials in Sidoarjo Regency. The research method used is descriptive with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation and documentation. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman interactive model including data collection, reduction, and presentation, as well as conclusion drawing. The results showed that the pattern of recruitment and selection of village officials included the stages of announcement, administrative selection, examination, announcement of examination results, and inauguration. The online exam was preceded by a server trial before implementation. The exam consisted of three types of questions, namely general knowledge, nationality, and government, including 100 questions. The results of the exam are announced in the form of scores and rankings of participants as well as the position chosen. Participants who pass the exam are then officially inaugurated as village officials.

Islamist Extremism in Australia: Tracing the Ideological Roots and Pathways to Radicalisation

Australia has not been immune from patterns of recruitment, attacks and foreign fighters harbouring the ideology of Islamist-jihadism. This paper draws on sociological data from a nationwide survey of 1034 Muslim Australians to analyse the way in which pathways to knowledge exist for Muslim Australians in relation to interpretations of Islam and, importantly, the adoption of an Islamist or Militant interpretation. Islamist and Militant typologies will be examined to see if their sources of Islamic influence were different or the same in their belief formation compared with more moderate typologies. This paper will also examine those participants who indicated that the Quran should be read literally and analyse the overall religiosity of the various typologies, with the aim to get a sense of the connection between (moral/ethical) belief formation and daily ritual of Islamists and Militants. This paper finds that Muslim Australians categorised as Political Islamist and Militant are more likely to have been influenced by mainstream areas of Islamic knowledge and discourse, such as the Quran, hadith, ulema, and the mosque, whilst also interpreting the Quran literally and praying daily. These findings suggest a challenging path forward for counterterrorism and countering violent extremism policies and programs in Australia.

Stock assessment of Nemipterus japonicus (Bloch, 1791) in Tha-Bawt-Seik coastal area, Dawei, Myanmar

The stock assessment of the threadfin beam, Nemipterus japonicus, collected from the Tha-Bawt-Seik of the Andaman Sea in Myanmar were analysed from January to December 2018. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the condition of the N. japonicus population. For all 1866 specimens, the asymptotic length (L∞), growth rate (K) and growth performance index (Ǿ) were 22.05 cm, 1.4 year–1 and 2.833 respectively. There were 4.89 year–1, 2.47 year–1 and 2.41 year–1 for the total mortality rate (Z), natural mortality rate (M) and fishing mortality rate (Z) respectively. The maximum exploitation rate (Emax) was 0.703, while the exploitation rate (Ecurrent) was 0.49. There were two main recruitment pulses in the pattern of continual recruitment. When the dry season began, threadfin beams became one of the principal species in Tha-Bawt-Seik. The outcomes of the study showed that while the N. japonicus stock is currently safe; there are signs of growth overfishing and any rise in the existing pace of exploitation is likely to exacerbate this issue.

Exploring Human-Exoskeleton Interaction Dynamics: An In-Depth Analysis of Knee Flexion-Extension Performance across Varied Robot Assistance-Resistance Configurations.

Knee rehabilitation therapy after trauma or neuromotor diseases is fundamental to restore the joint functions as best as possible, exoskeleton robots being an important resource in this context, since they optimize therapy by applying tailored forces to assist or resist movements, contributing to improved patient outcomes and treatment efficiency. One of the points that must be taken into account when using robots in rehabilitation is their interaction with the patient, which must be safe for both and guarantee the effectiveness of the treatment. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the interaction between humans and an exoskeleton during the execution of knee flexion-extension movements under various configurations of robot assistance and resistance. The evaluation encompassed considerations of myoelectric activity, muscle recruitment, robot torque, and performed movement. To achieve this, an experimental protocol was implemented, involving an individual wearing the exoskeleton and executing knee flexion-extension motions while seated, with the robot configured in five distinct modes: passive (P), assistance on flexion (FA), assistance on extension (EA), assistance on flexion and extension (CA), and resistance on flexion and extension (CR). Results revealed distinctive patterns of movement and muscle recruitment for each mode, highlighting the complex interplay between human and robot; for example, the largest RMS tracking errors were for the EA mode (13.72 degrees) while the smallest for the CR mode (4.47 degrees), a non-obvious result; in addition, myoelectric activity was demonstrated to be greater for the completely assisted mode than without the robot (the maximum activation levels for the vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles were more than double those when the user had assistance from the robot). Tracking errors, muscle activations, and torque values varied across modes, emphasizing the need for careful consideration in configuring exoskeleton assistance and resistance to ensure effective and safe rehabilitation. Understanding these human-robot interactions is essential for developing precise rehabilitation programs, optimizing treatment effectiveness, and enhancing patient safety.

Effect of Talent Management Practices on Employee Performance in Selected Commercial Banks in Nigeria

Employee performance, which has become a source of concern for many Nigerian companies, especially in the banking industry influences organizational performance, work quality, and customer satisfaction, since organizational success heavily depends on employee performance. To this end, talent management and job satisfaction have become so pivotal that both success and failure of any organization are attributed to the quality and productivity of the human capital it possesses. Therefore, this study will examine the mediating role of job satisfaction in the relationship between these three talent management practices (recruitment and selection, training and development, and performance management) and commercial banks’ employees’ performance in Nigeria. The study employed the proportionate random sampling method. The study identified thirteen (13) commercial banks in Nigeria that are listed on the Nigerian Stock exchange. PLS-SEM path modelling was employed to analyze the data. Six hypotheses were developed in alternate form and result supported the hypotheses. Statistical evidence shows that there is a significant relationship between recruitment and selection and employee performance. it also shows that there is a significant relationship between, training and development, performance management, and employee performance. Finally, the study found that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between talent management practices and job satisfaction. The study therefore recommends that bank managers should adopt and recommend green recruitment and selection process for their banks’ employee as this will reveal new ways of recruitment and selection pattern that devour of influence and favouritism given to friends and relatives. It also recommends that managers give due consideration to the performance management, training and development, and job satisfaction of employee as this may still generate a positive impact on the organization performance on the long round.

Recruitment dynamics of juvenile salmonids: Comparisons among populations and with classic case studies.

Understanding recruitment, the process by which individuals are added to a population or to a fishery, is critical for understanding population dynamics and facilitating sustainable fisheries management. Important variation in recruitment dynamics is observed among populations, wherein some populations exhibit asymptotic productivity and others exhibit overcompensation (i.e., compensatory density-dependence in recruitment). Our ability to understand this interpopulation variability in recruitment patterns is limited by a poor understanding of the underlying mechanisms, such as the complex interactions between density dependence, recruitment, and environment. Furthermore, most studies on recruitment are conducted using an observational design with long time series that are seldom replicated across populations in an experimentally controlled fashion. Without proper replication, extrapolations between populations are tenuous, and the underlying environmental trends are challenging to quantify. To address these issues, we conducted a field experiment manipulating stocking densities of juvenile brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis in three wild populations to show that these neighboring populations-which exhibit divergent patterns of density dependence due to environmental conditions-also have important differences in recruitment dynamics. Testing against four stock-recruitment models (density independent, linear, Beverton-Holt, and Ricker), populations exhibited ~twofold variation in asymptotic productivity, with no overcompensation following a Beverton-Holt model. Although environmental variables (e.g., temperature, pH, depth, substrate) correlated with population differences in recruitment, they did not improve the predictive power in individual populations. Comparing our patterns of recruitment with classic salmonid case studies revealed that despite differences in the shape and parameters of the curves (i.e., Ricker vs. Beverton-Holt), a maximum stocking density of about five YOY fish/m2 emerged. Higher densities resulted in very marginal increases in recruitment (Beverton-Holt) or reduced recruitment due to overcompensation (Ricker).

Recruitment Pattern for Regency Non-Permanent Employees at the Gayo Lues Regency People's Representative Council Secretariat

The recruitment pattern for non-permanent employees of the Secretariat of the People's Representative Council for Gayo Lues Regency is implemented in accordance with Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 5 of 2014 concerning State Civil Apparatus. consisting of Civil Servants (PNS) and Government Employees with a Work Agreement (PPPK). This has been implemented since the issuance of Gayo Lues Regent Regulation Number 29 of 2018 concerning Delegation of Authority to Sign the Appointment of Regency Non-Permanent Employees within the Gayo Lues Regency Government. The aim of carrying out this research is to determine the Recruitment Pattern of Regency Non-Permanent Employees (PTTK) at the Gayo Lues Regency People's Representative Council Secretariat. This research uses a qualitative approach. This research is classified as case study research. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews and literature study. Data analysis was carried out descriptively through the stages of data reduction, data presentation as well as conclusions and verification. The research results of the Gayo Lues Regency Government show that there are still problems with recruitment and budgeting of ASN. Non-Permanent Regency Employees (PTTK) are still needed. Budgeting can be adjusted to the financial capabilities of the Gayo Lues Regency Government. The Secretariat of the Gayo Lues Regency People's Representative Council (DPRK) is an element of administrative services and provides support for the duties and functions of the DPRK. Implementation of the duties and functions of the DPRK as well as providing and coordinating expert personnel required by the DPRK in carrying out its rights and functions in accordance with needs. In order to support the smooth running of the DPRK Secretariat's duties in facilitating the implementation of the duties and functions of the Gayo Lues DPRK, it is necessary to appoint non-permanent district employees (PTTK) for the Gayo Lues DPRK Secretariat.

Estimating the growth parameters, exploitation rate, biomass and maximum sustainable yield of long whisker catfish Mystus gulio (Hamilton, 1822) in the coastal waters from southwestern Bangladesh

The research provides a comprehensive analysis of Mystus gulio including growth pattern, growth parameters, recruitment patterns, mortality rates, biomass, exploitation rate (E), and the estimation of maximum sustainable yield (MSY) within the southwestern coastal waters of Bangladesh. From January to December 2017, fishers provided around 1200 specimens. FAO-ICLARM Stock Assessment Tool and Excel-add-in-solver were used to assess stock status through length-frequency data. Indeed, the research findings indicated that the population of M. gulio displayed negative allometric for both individuals (b = 2.53 for male, b = 2.50 for female), as demonstrated by the calculated allometric coefficient value. Nonetheless, the population's dynamic characteristics revealed an asymptotic length (L∞) of 19.34 cm, 23.28 cm and growth coefficient (K) 0.94 year−1 and 0.81 year−1 for male and female M. gulio. The growth performance indexes (Ø') of 2.55 and 2.64 for male and female and maximum lifespan (tmax) 3.20 years and 3.70 years respectively. This study revealed that the slightly variations in the natural mortality rate (M) for both specimens at 1.55 year−1 and 1.59 year−1. The fishing mortality rate (F) 2.75 year−1 and 1.98 year−1and total mortality rate (Z) 4.30 year−1 and 3.57 year−1 for male and females, respectively. The maximum permissible exploitation rate (Emax = 0.421) was lower than the actual exploitation rate (E = 0.63). The MSY was calculated at 67.968 metric tons. Without a doubt, overfishing stands out as the most critical threat to the wild stock. Therefore, it is clear that the existing fishing approach was not efficiently managed the standing stock in a sustainable manner. The findings would be useful for established proper fishing regulations in coastal waters and the surrounding ecosystems.

Stock Assessment of the Commercial Small Pelagic Fishes in the Beibu Gulf, the South China Sea, 2006-2020.

Long-term variations in population structure, growth, mortality, exploitation rate, and recruitment pattern of two major commercial small pelagic fishes (CSPFs) (Decapterus maruadsi and Trachurus japonicus) are reported based on bottom trawl survey data collected during 2006-2020 in the Beibu Gulf, South China Sea. All individuals collected during each sampling quarter over a period of 15 years were subjected to laboratory-based analysis. In this study, the stock of D. maruadsi and T. japonicus inhabiting the Beibu Gulf was assessed using length-based methods (bootstrapped electronic length frequency analysis (ELEFAN)) to complete stock assessment in different fishery management periods (the division of fisheries management periods was based on China's input and output in the South China Sea offshore fisheries over 15 years, specifically divided into period I (2006-2010), period II (2011-2015), and period III (2016-2020)). The results showed that the mean body length, dominant body size, and estimated asymptotic length of two CSPFs decreased, whereas their growth coefficient decreased, indicating miniaturization and slower growth, respectively. Estimated exploitation rates and catching body length for two CSPFs indicated that both stocks in the Beibu Gulf were overexploited in period I and moderately exploited after 2011. These stocks were taking a good turn in status in period III, with the exploitation rate much lower than the initial period and reversing the downward trend in catching body length. Furthermore, the variations in the spawning season of the two CSPF stocks and their barely satisfactory expected yield indicated the complexity of the current fishery management in the Beibu Gulf. These results suggest that management measures to reduce fishing pressure may have a positive influence on the biological characteristics of those CSPFs in the Beibu Gulf; however, the stock structure already affected by overfishing will be a huge challenge for the conservation and restoration of fisheries resources in the future. Given that the current stocks of D. maruadsi and T. japonicus in the Beibu Gulf still have low first-capture body length (Lc) and high fishing mortality (F) (compared to F0.1), we identify a need to refine population structure by controlling fishing efforts and increasing catchable size, and more consideration should be given to the local fishery resource status in fisheries management.

Investigation of the rhythmic recruitment of tear neutrophils to the ocular surface and their phenotypes

Hundreds of thousands of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) are collected from the ocular surface upon waking, while few are harvested during daytime. This study aimed to investigate potential factors contributing to the circadian infiltration of tear PMNs, including changes in IL-8 and C5a in tears, and their phenotypes across different time points in a 24-h cycle. Tear PMNs were collected using a gentle eyewash after 2-h and 7-h of sleep (eye closure, EC) at night, after 2-h EC during the day, and towards the end of the afternoon. Significantly fewer cells were collected after 2-h EC during the day compared to 2-h EC at night. A positive correlation between IL-8 and PMN numbers existed, but not with C5a. Tear PMNs collected after 2-h EC at night were less degranulated and possessed a larger activation potential compared to 7-h EC. Tear PMNs from 7-h EC at night exhibited hyper-segmented nuclei and more NETosis compared to 2 h EC night, indicating an aged and activated phenotype. The diurnal-nocturnal recruitment pattern of tear PMNs may be driven by increased IL-8 in nighttime tears. Higher degranulation and NETs point to the significant activation of tear PMNs on the ocular surface during prolonged eye closure at night.

Who becomes a civil servant? Evidence from a decade of youth panel analysis

ABSTRACT This article explores the patterns of bureaucratic recruitment—focusing on who prepares for and passes the civil service examination—using unique panel data that capture and track career aspirations, socioeconomic backgrounds, and actual career trajectories of tens of thousands of Korean youth for 12 years. Our analysis shows that those who are better educated, prosocial, and well-off are positively correlated with the likelihood of preparing for the examination. Moreover, we find that, contrary to some worries, the likelihood of passing the examination is positively correlated with talented and prosocial candidates with no strong connection to more affluent family backgrounds.

Optimalkan potensi mahasiswa: Program pelatihan kewirausahaan terintegrasi

Entrepreneurship development among students has an important role in increasing creativity, innovation, and economic independence. The background to the importance of entrepreneurship for students is highlighted as a response to challenges in an increasingly competitive world of work and the increasing need for economic independence. The structured implementation method is described, including tenant recruitment patterns, approaches to selecting prospective participants, as well as the entrepreneurship training methods applied. The results of entrepreneurship development activities include the formation of selected student business groups (tenants), the implementation of entrepreneurship training, and a positive impact on students' mindsets and abilities in generating business. In its implementation, various effective strategies have been implemented to overcome obstacles such as limited resources, differences in background and knowledge, as well as technical and technological obstacles. Entrepreneurship development activities have succeeded in making a significant contribution to shaping the entrepreneurial spirit and economic independence of students. Even though faced with various obstacles, appropriate mitigation efforts have produced positive impacts that can be seen from the formation of student business groups, changes in mindset, and increased students' ability to generate business. The next steps need to focus on strengthening and expanding the program to broaden its positive impact and maintain the sustainability of student entrepreneurial initiatives.

Infraorbital nerve injury triggers sex-specific neuroimmune responses in the peripheral trigeminal pathway and common pain behaviours

Trigeminal neuropathic pain is emotionally distressing and disabling. It presents with allodynia, hyperalgesia and dysaesthesia. In preclinical models it has been assumed that cephalic nerve constriction injury shows identical molecular, cellular, and sex dependent neuroimmune changes as observed in extra-cephalic injury models. This study sought empirical evidence for such assumptions using the infraorbital nerve chronic constriction model (ION-CCI). We compared the behavioural consequences of nerve constriction with: (i) the temporal patterns of recruitment of macrophages and T-lymphocytes at the site of nerve injury and in the trigeminal ganglion; and (ii) the degree of demyelination and axonal reorganisation in the injured nerve. Our data demonstrated that simply testing for allodynia and hyperalgesia as is done in extra-cephalic neuropathic pain models does not provide access to the range of injury-specific nociceptive responses and behaviours reflective of the experience of trigeminal neuropathic pain. Similarly, trigeminal neuroimmune changes evoked by nerve injury are not the same as those identified in models of extra-cephalic neuropathy. Specifically, the timing, magnitude, and pattern of ION-CCI evoked macrophage and T-lymphocyte activity differs between the sexes.

Lessons from the calibration and sensitivity analysis of a fish larval transport model

Numerous fish populations show strong year-to-year variations in recruitment. The early life stages play a crucial role in determining recruitment and dispersal patterns. A helpful tool to understand recruitment and dispersal involves simulations with a Lagrangian transport model, which results from the coupling between a hydrodynamic model and an individual-based model. Larval transport models require sound knowledge of the biological processes governing larval dispersal, and they may be highly sensitive to the parameters selected. Various assumptions about larval traits, behaviour and other model parameters can be tested by comparing simulation results with field data to identify the most sensitive parameters and to improve model calibration. This study shows that biological parameterization is more important than inter-annual variability in explaining the year-to-year differences in larval recruitment of common sole in the North Sea and the eastern English Channel. In contrast, year-to-year variability of connectivity leads to higher variability than changes in the biological parameters. The most influential parameters are pelagic larval duration, spawning period and mortality. Calibration over a 12 yr recruitment survey shows that a scenario with low mortality associated with a long larval duration and behaviour involving nycthemeral and tidal migration best reproduces the observations. This research provides insights into factors influencing fish dispersal and recruitment, suggesting a strategy for enhancing the accuracy of models in upcoming studies. The study supports the improvement of larval dispersal modelling by incorporating an easily applicable sensitivity analysis for both calibration and validation. Incorporating sensitivity analyses enhances larval dispersal models, providing performing tools that can contribute to informed fisheries management and understanding of recruitment variability.
