The Three-Dimensional Structure of Mediterranean Shallow Rocky Reefs: Use of Photogrammetry-Based Descriptors to Assess Its Influence on Associated Teleost Assemblages

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
In the Mediterranean Sea, shallow rocky reefs and the associated three-dimensional (3D) structure support rich and abundant communities; they are therefore of functional importance, in particular for the renewal of fish stocks.

Fine‐scale vegetation complexity and habitat structure influence predation pressure on a declining snake

, 2022
International audienceIn Western Europe, omnipresent human activities have considerable impacts on habitats at several spatial scales resulting in direct shifts in habitat characteristics.

Habitat Complexity Alters Predator-Prey Interactions in a Shallow Water Ecosystem

Diversity, 2022
Habitat complexity can profoundly influence interactions between predators and their prey due to changes to foraging efficiencies. In aquatic systems, habitat alterations can alter pursuit times and swimming behaviours of predator–prey participants ...

Case-based complexity: within-case time variation and temporal casing

, 2021
We observe that time is central to most social dynamics and yet remains poorly understood. The complexity sciences have contributed a wide range of concepts and tools to investigate and recast time in social systems.

Complexity for artificial substrates (CASU): software for creating and visualising habitat complexity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Physical habitat complexity regulates the structure and function of biological communities, although the mechanisms underlying this relationship remain unclear. Urbanisation, pollution, unsustainable resource exploitation and climate change have resulted

Monetary Convergence Across the Economic Community of West African States: Lessons for the Envisioned West African Monetary Union

, 2022
Since its inauguration, the Economic Community of West African States has stressed its desire to advance regional integration through the establishment of a common single currency (the Eco). This policy has been considered advantageous given the economic

Habitat Selection and Risk of Predation: Re-colonization by Lynx had Limited Impact on Habitat Selection by Roe Deer [PDF]

, 2013
Risk of predation is an evolutionary force that affects behaviors of virtually all animals. In this study, we examined how habitat selection by roe deer was affected by risk of predation by Eurasian lynx - the main predator of roe deer in Scandinavia ...

Chimera States in Ecological Network Under Weighted Mean-Field Dispersal of Species

Frontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2019
In ecological landscapes, species tend to migrate between nearby patches in search of a better survivability condition. By this dispersal process, they form connectivity between the patches and thereby may develop various correlated or partially ...
