Ecology Letters, 2023
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.

Fish predation and habitat complexity: are complexity thresholds real?
Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1990Empirical data have suggested the existence of a substratum complexity threshold below which predation rates are not affected by variations in habitat complexity. Complexity thresholds might either be real, resulting from switching of predator behavior, or artifacts of experimental designs, resulting from too few experimental treatments broadly ...

Non-Additive Predation in Littoral Habitats: Influences of Habitat Complexity
Oikos, 1998The combined effects of predators on prey in structurally complex habitats may not always be described by additive models. Changes in habitat complexity can affect the rates of consumption by individual predators as well as alter the interactive, combined effects of predators with contrasting foraging styles.

A GENERALIZED PREDATOR–PREY SYSTEM WITH HABITAT COMPLEXITY
Journal of Biological Systems, 2017This paper presents a generalized predator–prey system and considers the effect of habitat complexity on the dynamical consequences. The results show that habitat complexity has a major impact on the dynamical consequences of the considered system. On the one hand, habitat complexity has a stabilizing impact under certain conditions.

Habitat Complexity, Brain, and Behavior
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008More complex brains and behaviors have arisen repeatedly throughout both vertebrate and invertebrate evolution. The challenge is to tease apart the forces underlying such change. In this review, I show how habitat complexity influences both brain and behavior in African cichlid fishes, drawing on examples from primates and birds where appropriate ...

Quantifying habitat complexity in aquatic ecosystems
Freshwater Biology, 2007Summary1. Many aquatic studies have attempted to relate biological features, such as species diversity, abundance, brain size and behaviour, to measures of habitat complexity. Previous measures of habitat complexity have ranged from simple, habitat‐specific variables, such as the number of twigs in a stream, to quantitative parameters of surface ...

Creating complex habitats for restoration and reconciliation
Ecological Engineering, 2015Simplification of natural habitats has become a major conservation challenge and there is a growing consensus that incorporating and enhancing habitat complexity is likely to be critical for future restoration efforts. Habitat complexity is often ascribed an important role in controlling species diversity, however, despite numerous empirical studies ...

Brain organization and habitat complexity in Anolis lizards.
Brain, behavior and evolution, 2014Across vertebrates, there is a broad correlation between neuroanatomy and the type of habitat preferred by a species. In general, species occupying habitats classified as more structurally complex have relatively larger brains and exaggerated structures related to navigating and exploiting those habitats.
