Taxonomic and functional diversity of land snails reflects habitat complexity in riparian forests [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Habitat complexity affects the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, more often with increased complexity leading to greater species diversity and abundance.

Habitat Complexity Reduces the Feeding Strength of Freshwater Predators [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe physical structure of an environment potentially influences feeding interactions among organisms, for instance, by providing refuge for prey. We examined how habitat complexity affects the functional feeding response of an ambush predator (damselfly ...

Interactive effects of temperature and habitat complexity on freshwater communities [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2017 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.

Habitat complexity influences the structure of food webs in Great Barrier Reef seagrass meadows [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2019 Structural habitat complexity is a fundamental attribute influencing ecological food webs. Simplification of complex habitats occurs due to both natural and anthropogenic pressures that can alter productivity of food webs.

Turbulent flow-based habitat complexity metrics around instream boulders in support of river restoration [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInstream boulder placement has been commonly used to restore degraded streams by enhancing instream complexity and ecological value. Boulder-induced variations in turbulent flow characteristics affect the quality and availability of aquatic habitats in ...

, 2021 We develop the ontology of “process complexity” and describe how the dynamics of “becoming” can be framed as the emerging, stabilising, and ultimate dissolving of “patterns of relationships.” By extending traditional complexity thinking through ...

Institutional complexity is complexity with an adjective
, 2021 A review of the studies on institutional complexity reveals that the many definitions of institutional complexity and related concepts share similarities with the understanding of complexity and complex systems of complexity science. Yet few publications

Orchid bee fauna responds to habitat complexity on a savanna area (Cerrado) in Brazil.
Sociobiology, 2016 Habitat structure and complexity may broadly affect the diversity and composition of a variety of fauna in terrestrial systems. Here we investigated responses of orchid bee assemblages to habitat complexity, with the aim of assessing complexity as a ...

How Do Underwater Cultural Heritage Sites Affect Coral Assemblages?
Remote Sensing, 2023 Underwater cultural heritage sites (UCH), such as shipwrecks and sunken aircrafts, can provide physical structures to support coral recruitment and habitats for marine organisms.
