Abstract
Complex spatial structure within populations confers population stability and resilience through asynchronous responses of population sub-components to perturbation (i.e., portfolio effect). In fishes, spatial structure frequently develops via early-life partial migration, leading to diversified nursery use. However, the portfolio effect depends on how adult recruitment from different nurseries exhibits asynchronous dynamics in response to climate variables, and whether nursery experiences carry over to adult demographics. For a three-decade span, we tested adult nursery recruitment and carryover effects associated with early-life partial migration in Hudson River striped bass. Early-life partial migration led to structured utilization of freshwater, brackish, and coastal nurseries, all of which recruited to the adult population. Adult recruitment from brackish nurseries increased with freshwater flow, while coastal nurseries produced more adults during severe winter years. First-year nursery experiences carried over to influence adult sex, but not growth. Most females utilized brackish nurseries in their first year, while adult males recruited from freshwater and brackish nurseries. Early-life partial migration led to diversified nursery use and influenced adult demographics, which buffered populations against perturbations.

This README is in reference to the data sets and R codes (.Rmd) needed to recreate the figures and analyses in “Lifetime carryover of early partial migration behaviors in an estuarine-dependent fish under climate change”, submitted by K. Arai.
There are five major analyses within the manuscript. The first script 01_nursery_assignment_2024-07-22.Rmd reconstructs nursery habitats of adult striped bass using otolith chemistry, time series changepoint analysis, and random forest classification. The second script 02_abundance_environment_2024-07-22.Rmd organizes the predictor variables used to model adult brackish and wester Long Island Sound nursery indices. The third script 03_gamlss_2024-07-22.Rmd runs the Generalized Additive Model for Location, Scale, and Shape (GAMLSS) to investigate the effect of environmental conditions and density-dependence on adult nursery use. The fourth script 04_yoy_adult_comp_2024-07-22.Rmd compares the adult brackish nursery index with the young-of-year (YOY) brackish proportion. The fifth script 05_carryover_effects_2024-07-22.Rmd tests early life carryover effects to adult growth sex characteristics.
