Data and Code

<p dir="ltr">This repository contains the data, code and supporting materials associated with the manuscript “Directional gating of structural bridges in ecological networks.” The study examines how structural connectivity differs from directional accessibility in ecological networks and introduces the concept of ordered accessibility to distinguish accessible relays from entry-, exit- and internal-order-gated structural bridges. </p><p dir="ltr">The repository includes materials used for the synthetic-network analyses, the northern North Sea transport-network analyses, current-field analyses, cross-system ecological-network comparisons, derived result tables and figure source data, together with documentation required to reproduce the main analyses.

Source datasets that are maintained by external repositories are not redistributed where licensing or repository conditions apply; stable identifiers and original data sources are provided in the manuscript and associated documentation. </p><p dir="ltr">These materials are provided to support transparency, reproducibility and reuse of the analyses reported in the manuscript.</p>
