(a) Forward and (b) backward projections of multigenerational settlement probabilities for a 35-day PLD. Values are an average of five runs of the 1,000-generation model. For example, (a) about 30% of successfully settled propagules released from Northampton settled at Gardner and (b) about 2% of successfully settled propagules at Gardner originated at Northampton. The horizontal and vertical lines separate Main Hawaiian Islands and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, and the diagonal shows self-seeding.
