The ecological significance of giant clams in coral reef ecosystems (2015, background): “Coral reef fish diversity is related to coral cover (Bell and Galzin, 1984; Ault and Johnson, 1998) and substrate complexity (Gratwicke and Speight, 2005; Lingo and Szedlmayer, 2006).”
Using 3D photogrammetry from ROV video to quantify cold-water coral reef structural complexity and investigate its influence on biodiversity and community assemblage (2019, background): “Coral reef structural complexity influences marine biodiversity and community structure at multiple scales (Friedlander and Parrish 1998; Gratwicke and Speight 2005; Wilson et al. 2007; Graham and Nash 2013; Richardson et al. 2017).”
Density dependence and population regulation in marine fish: a large‐scale, long‐term field manipulation (2012, background): “…shelter providing fewer prey refuges means fewer individuals survive to adulthood, as has been previously documented for bicolors (Nemeth 1997, Almany 2004) and numerous others reef fishes (e.g., Roberts and Ormond 1987, Jones 1988, Beukers and Jones 1997; review by Gratwicke and Speight 2005).”
The Influence of Habitat Complexity on Reef Fish Communities in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico (2006, background): “…between substrate complexity and fish diversity (Risk 1972; Roberts and Ormond 1987; McClanahan 1994; McCormick 1994; Szedlmayer and Able 1996; Gratwicke and Speight 2005a, b), while one study showed a positive correlation between habitat complexity and biomass, but not with species diversity…”
The role of seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, salt marshes and reed beds as nursery areas and food sources for fishes in estuaries (2017, background): “Habitat structure and complexity appear to be a major driver influencing fish selection of nursery areas in the coastal zone (Gratwicke and Speight 2005), with juvenile fish in estuaries tending to choose more complex and permanently inundated littoral habitats for colonisation.”
Tropicalisation of temperate reefs: Implications for ecosystem functions and management actions (2019, background): “Tropical coral reefs are generally considered more complex than seaweed forests (Gratwicke & Speight, 2005), which in turn are more complex than turf‐dominated reefs (Filbee‐Dexter & Wernberg, 2018).”
Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review (2016, background): “In coral reefs, the most important aspects of structural complexity are rugosity, hard substrate, and refuge availability [115], the first two factors can be derived using acoustic techniques.”
Influence of habitat configuration on connectivity between fish assemblages of Caribbean seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs (2007, background): “Both recruitment into these habitats and ontogenetic migrations towards the reef may be easier in open systems than in semi-enclosed systems (Gratwicke & Speight 2005).”
Habitat structural complexity metrics improve predictions of fish abundance and distribution (2018, background): “There is evidence for the influence of habitat features on fish abundance and diversity (Friedlander et al. 2003, Gratwicke and Speight 2005a, b).”
Appraisal of visual assessments of habitat complexity and benthic composition on coral reefs (2007, methodology): “Consequently, a conglomeration of techniques is often used to simultaneously measure multiple aspects of habitat complexity (Friedlander and Parrish 1998; Gratwicke and Speight 2005a; Russ et al. 2005).”
The comparative effects of habitat complexity on faunal assemblages of northern temperate artificial and natural reefs (2009, background): “…et al., 1996; Tupper and Boutilier, 1997; Charbonnel et al., 2002; Gratwicke and Speight, 2005), levels of species richness (Fabi and Fiorentini, 1994; Charbonnel et al., 2002; Gratwicke and Speight, 2005), and increases in species diversity (Roberts and Ormond, 1987; Fabi and Fiorentini, 1994).”
