Interactive effects of temperature and habitat complexity on freshwater communities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3412
Abstract: Abstract Warming can lead to increased growth of plants or algae at the base of the food web, which may increase the overall complexity of habitat available for other organisms. Temperature and habitat complexity have… read more here.

Habitat formation prevails over predation in influencing fouling communities

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3654
Abstract: Abstract Coastal human‐made structures, such as marinas and harbors, are expanding worldwide. Species assemblages described from these artificial habitats are novel relative to natural reefs, particularly in terms of the abundance of nonindigenous species (NIS).… read more here.

Habitat complexity and predictability effects on finding and collecting food when ants search as cooperative groups

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.05.004
Abstract: Cooperatively foraging groups have two sequential goals: to find food and thereafter efficiently exploit or retrieve it. Previous research has largely focused on searching behaviours of individuals or organization of food retrieval processes, rather than… read more here.

Do physical habitat complexity and predator cues influence the baseline and stress-induced glucocorticoid levels of a mangrove-associated fish?

DOI: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2016.10.004
Abstract: As human populations continue to expand, increases in coastal development have led to the alteration of much of the world's mangrove habitat, creating problems for the multitude of species that inhabit these unique ecosystems. Habitat… read more here.

Effects of habitat complexity and temporal variation in rocky reef fish communities in the Santos estuary (SP), Brazil

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2019.105728
Abstract: Abstract Rampant human activities within estuaries and adjacent areas lead to a significant loss of habitat for many fish species and decreases the quality of the remaining habitats. In this context, we investigated the effects… read more here.

The ecological importance of habitat complexity to the Caribbean coral reef herbivore Diadema antillarum: three lines of evidence
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Scientific Reports"
DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-87232-9
Abstract: When Caribbean long-spined sea urchins, Diadema antillarum, are stable at high population densities, their grazing facilitates scleractinian coral dominance. Today, populations remain suppressed after a mass mortality in 1983–1984 caused a loss of their ecosystem… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aesa/saab017
Abstract: Abstract Insect diversity levels and change in remnant urban habitats have been poorly examined in Neotropical regions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diversity and composition of foliage/shrub dwelling beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera)… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14208
Abstract: In their recent synopsis, Loke and Chisholm (Ecology Letters, 25, 2269-2288, 2022) present an overview of habitat complexity metrics for ecologists. They provide a review and some sound advice. However, we found several of their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.14213
Abstract: In a critique of our recent review on measuring habitat complexity in ecology, Madin et al. (2023) advocate the use of fractal dimension in ecology and defend their geometric constraint theory of habitat complexity. We… read more here.

Effects of habitat complexity on cannibalism rates in European green crabs ( Carcinus maenas Linnaeus, 1758)

DOI: 10.1111/maec.12448
Abstract: The habitat in which predator–prey interactions take place may have a profound influence on the outcome of those interactions. Cannibalism is an intriguing form of predation whereby foraging by predators may contribute to the regulation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2017-0359
Abstract: Habitat complexity may stabilize consumer–resource interactions and reduce the probability of invasion in aquatic habitats. We tested the hypotheses that (i) higher habitat complexity reduces resource consumption independently of grazer species, but that (ii) invasive… read more here.
