The effects of seafloor habitat complexity on survival of juvenile fishes : Species-specific interactions with structural refuge (2006, background): “Several fishes and invertebrates have been found distributed in non-random patterns and in close association with complex microhabitats in coastal and shelf marine environments (e.g., Auster et al., 1995; Levin and Hay, 1996; Hovel et al., 2002; Diaz et al., 2003).”
Seagrass structural complexity and landscape configuration as determinants of tropical fish assemblage composition (2008, methodology): “Our results contrast with those of others (e.g. Attrill et al. 2000, Hovel et al. 2002, Sirota & Hovel 2006), who found that seagrass biomass influences epifaunal community patterns (although fish was only part of their respective study communities).”
Review of nekton patterns and ecological processes in seagrass landscapes (2006, methodology): “Since nekton also respond to changes in depth and hydrodynamic activity (e.g. Hovel et al., 2002; Jackson and Attrill, 2006), the influence of patch attributes might easily be confounded by the direct effects of the physical setting on nekton.”

A bio-engineered soft-bottom environment: The impact of Lanice conchilega on the benthic species-specific densities and community structure (2007, background): “…kinds of environments: coral reefs (e.g. Holbrook et al., 1990), Darwin mounds (Van Gaever et al., 2004), kelp forests (e.g. Steneck et al., 2002), ascidians (Castilla et al., 2004), seagrass meadows (e.g. Hovel et al., 2002; Alfaro, 2006), mussel banks (e.g. Ragnarsson and * Corresponding author.”
Distribution of sympatric seahorse species along a gradient of habitat complexity in a seagrass-dominated community (2005, background): “…(e.g. predation, hydrodynamic processes, recruitment dynamics) on local patterns of abundance (Choat 1982, Orth et al. 1984, Hindell et al. 2000, Hovel et al. 2002, Stoner 2003), (3) low power to detect weakly correlated variables, or (4) the potential influence of unmeasured habitat variables…”
Edge effects in patchy seagrass landscapes: The role of predation in determining fish distribution (2011, background): “Invertebrate abundances can increase (Bologna and Heck, 2002), decrease (Sanchez-Jerez et al., 1999) or remain consistent (Hovel et al., 2002) across seagrass edges, while recruitment (Bologna and Heck, 2000), survivorship (Irlandi, 1997; Hovel, 2003) and growth (Irlandi and Peterson, 1991) of…”
Linking fish and prawns to their environment: a hierarchical landscape approach (2004, unknown): “In contrast, Hovel et al. (2002), working in North Carolina, found that within 50 × 50 m plots, seagrass biomass and relative exposure (REI) explained substantially more variation in fish and crab density than did measures of landscape composition (% cover) or configuration (total linear edge).”
