Does habitat structural complexity influence the frequency of extra-pair paternity in birds?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00265-017-2329-x
Abstract: Several studies have suggested that vegetation structural complexity can influence the frequency of extra-pair copulations, especially by reducing mating-guarding efficiency. Here we investigate if habitat structural complexity affects broad patterns of extra-pair paternity (EPP) and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00338-020-01947-1
Abstract: Scleractinian corals, which create complex three-dimensional carbonate structures, are the foundation of coral reef ecosystems. There are a variety of coral growth forms or ‘morphologies’ that have distinct advantages and disadvantages when corals compete for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10845-015-1106-9
Abstract: Complexity of assembly supply chains (ASCs) is a challenge for designers and managers, especially when ASC systems become increasingly complex due to technological developments and geographically various sourcing arrangements. One of the major challenges at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10936-016-9427-1
Abstract: The majority of words in most languages consist of derived poly-morphemic words but a cross-linguistic review of the literature (Amenta and Crepaldi in Front Psychol 3:232–243, 2012) shows a contradictory picture with respect to how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11056-019-09754-5
Abstract: With the demand for, and scale of, ecological restoration increasing globally, effectiveness monitoring remains a significant challenge. For forest restoration, structural complexity is a recognised indicator of ecosystem biodiversity and in turn a surrogate for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-017-0441-4
Abstract: Determining forest structural complexity, i.e., a measure of the number of different attributes of a forest and the relative abundance of each attribute, is important for forest management and conservation. In this study, we examined… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jsg.2020.104153
Abstract: Abstract Prediction of structural complexity for geohazard and subsurface resource applications requires constraining and interpreting data that are often ambiguous or lack key information. Moreover, structural complexity is a subjective term, requiring context for quantification.… read more here.
