Argusia argentia

This map shows the connectivity of Argusia argentia in the Great Barrier Reef and its surrounding areas: Torres Strait, Coral Sea and Great Sandy regions. The arrows indicate the strength and nature of the connection between the regions. This map is intended to identify where one region is dependent on a neighbouring region.

Additional notes: This is an example of a ubiquitous vegetation species as opposed to a more restricited sp. (e.g. Pisonia grandis). Argusia has a floating seed and is a pioneer species of foredunes and cays. It is dependant on currents for direction of dispersal.

The data for this map was developed based on expert opinion (John Olds).
