        <gco:CharacterString>Elemental ratio data from Mass Spec analysis of newly settled oyster spat Dataset Description: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Elemental ratio data (X:Ca) from laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA ICP-MS) analysis of newly settled oyster spat collected from Pamlico Sound, NC.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Spat settlement collectors were constructed by affixing 2-3 wire strings, each containing 12 adult oyster shells, to private and public docks or stand-alone wooden pilings, throughout BBCPS study system. Settlement collectors were deployed on June 7&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;th&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and 21&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;st&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and again on August 1&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;st&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and 16&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;th&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; of 2012 and retrieved approximately 2 weeks later as part of an ongoing settlement sampling program (Eggleston and Puckett, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;unpubl.data&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;). Recovered settlement collectors were frozen until individual spat could be counted and removed from adult oyster shells with a tungsten probe. Spat were divided by collection site and collection period and refrozen at -23°C.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Spat from the field settlement collections were thawed and placed individually in 2 mL centrifuge tubes filled with 100 mL of 15% H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; solution buffered in 0.05 N ultrapure NaOH. Samples were sonicated for 10 min to remove organic material. The H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; solution was then removed and replaced with a 100 mL solution of 1% ultrapure HNO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3 &amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(OPTIMA grade; Fisher Scientific; Hampton, NJ). Samples were then sonicated for 5 additional min to dissolve any remaining tissue and surface impurities. Spat were then rinsed three times with ultrapure H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O and dried overnight in a laminar flow hood. After drying, spat were mounted in haphazard order onto a glass microscope slide with double-sided tape and stored until analysis.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Both larval and spat samples were analyzed using a Thermo-Fisher Element2 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a Teledyne ATLex 300si-x 193nm Excimer laser ablation unit (LA ICP-MS). To correct for mass bias and instrument drift, National Institute of Technology Standards-certified standards (Reference Material 612, 614, and 616) were run at the beginning and end of every 4 slide sequence (~140 burns). Concentrations of the following elements were quantified from laboratory larval samples: &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;48&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ca, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;55&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Mn, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;88&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Sr, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;138&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ba, and &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;208&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Pb; and from field-collected spat: &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;26&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Mg, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;48&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ca, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;55&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Mn, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;63&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Cu, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;88&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Sr, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;118&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Sn,&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt; 138&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ba, and &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;208&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Pb. These elements were all analyzed in low-resolution mode, and were chosen because of their previous use in uptake and tagging studies of fish otoliths and bivalve shells (Bath Martin &amp;amp;amp; Thorrold 2005; Strasser et al. 2008a,b; Fodrie et al. 2011).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;To determine elemental signatures of the collection sites, the outermost (most recently formed) section of the settler shell was also ablated with a 150 μm transect with 40 μm spot size and 80% intensity. Elemental variability among the larval portion of settler shells was also examined to broadly explore potential larval sources. Larval shell of each spat sample was identified and sampled in a line transect of 110 μm with 40 μm spot size and 80% intensity. Isotope intensities were converted into elemental ratios (X:Ca) following Becker et al. (2007).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

The PIs will use the eastern oyster (&lt;em&gt;Crassostrea virginica&lt;/em&gt;) in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, as a model system and will attempt to optimize the design of networks of no-take reserves as a strategy for maintaining metapopulations of this commercially harvested species. The project specifically recognizes that network persistence depends on (1) the potential for growth, survival, and reproduction within reserves, and (2) the potential to distribute offspring among reserves. Thus, demographic processes within reserves and settling areas play important roles, along with variability of physical transport. The PIs plan to:&lt;br /&gt;
(1) test and refine 3D bio-physical models of connectivity due to oyster larval transport in a shallow, wind-dominated system;&lt;br /&gt;
(2) test, refine, and apply technology to detect natal origins of larvae using geochemical tags in larval shell; and&lt;br /&gt;
(3) integrate regional connectivity and demographic rates to model metapopulation dynamics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This study will produce new tools and test and refine others used for studying larval connectivity, a fundamentally important process in the maintenance of natural populations, and thus in biological conservation and resource management. The tools include a hydrodynamic modeling tool coupled with an open-source particle tracking model that will be available on-line with computer code and user guide. The project will use integrated modeling approaches to evaluate the design of reserve networks: results will be directly useful to improving oyster and ecosystem-based management in Pamlico Sound, and the methods will inform approaches to network design in other locations.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Spat settlement collectors were constructed by affixing 2-3 wire strings, each containing 12 adult oyster shells, to private and public docks or stand-alone wooden pilings, throughout BBCPS study system. Settlement collectors were deployed on June 7&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;th&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and 21&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;st&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and again on August 1&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;st&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; and 16&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;th&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; of 2012 and retrieved approximately 2 weeks later as part of an ongoing settlement sampling program (Eggleston and Puckett, &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;unpubl.data&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;). Recovered settlement collectors were frozen until individual spat could be counted and removed from adult oyster shells with a tungsten probe. Spat were divided by collection site and collection period and refrozen at -23°C.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Spat from the field settlement collections were thawed and placed individually in 2 mL centrifuge tubes filled with 100 mL of 15% H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; solution buffered in 0.05 N ultrapure NaOH. Samples were sonicated for 10 min to remove organic material. The H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt; solution was then removed and replaced with a 100 mL solution of 1% ultrapure HNO&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;3 &amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;(OPTIMA grade; Fisher Scientific; Hampton, NJ). Samples were then sonicated for 5 additional min to dissolve any remaining tissue and surface impurities. Spat were then rinsed three times with ultrapure H&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;2&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;O and dried overnight in a laminar flow hood. After drying, spat were mounted in haphazard order onto a glass microscope slide with double-sided tape and stored until analysis.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Both larval and spat samples were analyzed using a Thermo-Fisher Element2 inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer with a Teledyne ATLex 300si-x 193nm Excimer laser ablation unit (LA ICP-MS). To correct for mass bias and instrument drift, National Institute of Technology Standards-certified standards (Reference Material 612, 614, and 616) were run at the beginning and end of every 4 slide sequence (~140 burns). Concentrations of the following elements were quantified from laboratory larval samples: &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;48&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ca, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;55&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Mn, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;88&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Sr, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;138&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ba, and &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;208&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Pb; and from field-collected spat: &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;26&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Mg, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;48&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ca, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;55&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Mn, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;63&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Cu, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;88&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Sr, &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;118&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Sn,&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt; 138&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Ba, and &amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;208&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;Pb. These elements were all analyzed in low-resolution mode, and were chosen because of their previous use in uptake and tagging studies of fish otoliths and bivalve shells (Bath Martin &amp;amp;amp; Thorrold 2005; Strasser et al. 2008a,b; Fodrie et al. 2011).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;To determine elemental signatures of the collection sites, the outermost (most recently formed) section of the settler shell was also ablated with a 150 μm transect with 40 μm spot size and 80% intensity. Elemental variability among the larval portion of settler shells was also examined to broadly explore potential larval sources. Larval shell of each spat sample was identified and sampled in a line transect of 110 μm with 40 μm spot size and 80% intensity. Isotope intensities were converted into elemental ratios (X:Ca) following Becker et al. (2007).&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Means and standard errors for field-collected larval and settlement shell Sr:Ca and Ba:Ca ratios were calculated and plotted by site to assess spatial variation in geochemical signatures among collection sites. Signatures from larval shells were used to examine possible temperature and salinity gradients present among natal sites. Additionally, contour plots were used to explore how settler shell elemental concentrations of Mn, Sr, Ba, and Pb varied with temperature and salinity. Contour plots were created using the &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;graphics&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; package in R (version 3.0.3). Multiple regression models were then used to quantitatively assess the relationship between salinity, temperature and shell signatures in a natural environment. Because some collection sites did not produce any spat over a given collection period, spat were grouped only by site to increase the sample size and statistical power of our results. A logarithmic transformation of elemental ratio was used as the response variable.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Linear Discriminate Function Analysis (DFA) was used to examine spatial variability in settler shell geochemistry and to determine the viability of using geochmical fingerprints to assess connectivity in oyster populations. All 23 sites were used in preliminary DFAs, however the classification success was low, directing us toward independent examination of PS sites from the BBCS sites. Because adjacent sites often experienced similar temperature/salinity gradients, PS sites were then grouped by geographic quadrant within PS: Northwest (NW; WC, EH, StP), Northeast (NE; RD, HT), Southeast (SE; OK, CI, WB), and Southwest (SW; OR, SoP, SQ). BBCS sites were similarly broken up into 5 groups based on geomorphology and site location: Bay (JB, WM), Creek (WH, TC), Newport (NeU, NeM, NeL), North (NoU, NoM, NoL), and Sound (BoS, BaS). Jack-knifed classification matrices, without sample replacement, were compared to expected classification matrices, based on random chance, to assess classification success. Sites were additionally grouped based on similar temperature and salinity profiles, however classification success did not improve significantly over geomorphological quadrants so analysis did not continue with these groupings. Because natal origins are unknown and modeled dispersal pathways for the area (e.g. Haase et al. 2012) have not been empirically validated, no DFA was performed on larval signatures.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
