Dear all,

I’m writing this email for a possible clarification about the use of MGET tools. I’m currently work on the Posidonia oceanica/amphipods system and I’d like to relate specific patterns with the potential connectivity of a series of seagrass meadows all around the Mediterranean Sea. Differently from other, amphipod lack a real pelagic larval form, so that I miss some information about the PLD, as well as mortality and settlement.

My question is: it is possible to use the tool without considering these specific parameters? My idea was to use MGET by ignoring these parameters, but I really don’t know if it is possible from a computational point of view. Before start the simulation (which probably require days if not weeks), I’d like to know the feasability of using the tool this way.
Obviously, any other suggestion is welcome.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to give an answer.

Cheers.
