Conceptual framework of the processes and drivers of population connectivity. Population connectivity refers to the exchange of individuals resulting from their biophysical dispersal, retention, and post-settlement survival. This 4-stage process may impact local patch demographics, metapopulation dynamics, and gene flow, and is spatially and temporally context dependent. Drivers highlighted with (*) are included in the modelling example of Port Phillip Bay
