Spatial planning with long visual range benefits escape from visual predators in complex naturalistic environments

Nature Communications, 2020
Habitat complexity influences the sensory ecology of predator-prey interactions. Here, the authors show that habitat complexity also affects the use of different decision-making paradigms, namely habit- and plan-based action selection. Simulations across

Structural Complexity of Coral Reefs in Guam, Mariana Islands

Remote Sensing, 2023
The complexity of tropical reef habitats affects the occurrence and diversity of the organisms residing in these ecosystems. Quantifying this complexity is important to better understand and monitor reef community assemblages and their roles in providing

Habitat selection and indirect interactions in fish ommunities [PDF]

, 2013
To increase the understanding of freshwater lake ecosystems, I have studied the habitat selection of perch (Perca fluviatilis L.), roach (Rutilus rutilus (L.)), and vendace (Coregonus albula (L.)).

Building Resilience in Trans-boundary Social-Ecological Systems: Adaptive Governance in the Lake Champlain Richelieu River Basin

, 2019
Addressing the management of water bodies that cross political, cultural, and ecological boundaries entails working with a level of complexity that requires creative, adaptive management strategies that build resilience throughout the system and allow ...

Simple life, simple minds? How habitat simplification in aquatic ecosystems shape fish cognition

Animal Cognition
This narrative review synthesises current knowledge on the effects of habitat complexity, defined as the variation in physical structures within ecosystems, on fish cognition, brain morphology, and personality.

Arthropod arbiters: natural enemy communities mediate the effects of landscape and local-scale complexity on Lygus-induced crop loss in organic strawberries

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Sustainable pest management requires growers and regional land managers to consider the relationships among pest management practices, pest and natural enemy communities, crop loss, and multi-scalar habitat complexity.

Complexity affects habitat preference and predation mortality in postlarval Penaeus plebejus: implications for stock enhancement [PDF]

, 2009
Global attempts to offset declines in fishery populations through stock enhancement have had varied levels of success due to the absence of preliminary studies to determine which habitats best support release species and the mechanisms controlling their ...

The role of edible habitat complexity in food webs

Limnology and Oceanography Letters
Habitat complexity (HC) in part determines the diversity, stability, and behavior of food webs and can influence predation according to a wide variety of functional relationships.

The resilience of reef invertebrate biodiversity to coral mortality

Ecosphere, 2016
Foundation species provide many important ecosystem functions including the provision of habitat for diverse communities, but their degradation and mortality has the potential to compromise these roles.

Bias associated with the detectability of the coral-eating pest crown-of-thorns seastar and implications for reef management [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Outbreaks of the predator crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS) Acanthaster planci cause widespread coral mortality across the Indo-Pacific. Like many marine invertebrates, COTS is a nocturnal species whose cryptic behaviour during the day can affect its ...
