The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems (2012, background): “Only six papers reported a purely negative or negative–neutral relationship, where urchin density decreased with increasing complexity (Weil et al. 2005; Dumas et al. 2007), although a number of papers indicated mixed responses to increased structural complexity (20 %; e.g. Rilov et al. 2007).”
Testing the effect of habitat structure and complexity on nekton assemblages using experimental oyster reefs (2011, background): “However, if structure decreases the visibility of predators (Rilov et al., 2007; Underwood, 1982) or obstructs their movements (van de Koppel et al.”
Density dependence and population regulation in marine fish: a large‐scale, long‐term field manipulation (2012, background): “…the importance of predation, male bicolor damselfish are known to court females less frequently in the presence of piscivores (Figueira and Lyman 2007), and where bicolors inhabit gorgonian fields that limit the field of view (unlike our study), predation risk is substantial (Rilov et al. 2007).”
