The effects of seafloor habitat complexity on survival of juvenile fishes : Species-specific interactions with structural refuge (2006, background): “The generality of this phenomenon in aquatic systems is supported by numerous field and laboratory studies of fishes and invertebrates comparing a variety of microhabitats (Orth et al., 1984; Main, 1987; Gotceitas et al., 1995; Tupper and Boutilier, 1995, 1997; Lindholm et al., 1999; Manderson et al”
Water depth modifies relative predation risk for a motile fish taxon in Bahamian tidal creeks (2007, background): “For many species, it is assumed either food availability or predator avoidance, or some combination thereof, are the most likely reasons that species movements are linked to tidal variation (Heck and Thoman 1981; McIvor and Odum 1988; Clark et al. 2003; Ryer et al. 2004; Lehtiniemi and Linden 2006).”
Spatial responses to predators vary with prey escape mode (2010, background): “Ryer et al. (2004) showed that two benthic flatfishes, juvenile Pacific halibut, Hippoglossus stenolepis, and juvenile northern rock sole, Lepidopsetta polyxystra, with different escapemodes displayed varying degrees of preference for sediment with emergent structure (sponges) over substrates with…”
Effects of environmental variables on fish feeding ecology: implications for the performance of baited fishing gear and stock assessment (2004, background): “The effect on bait location may be less than that with live prey; however, Ryer et al. (2004) observed that general activity in Pacific halibut is significantly less in a complex habitat compared with open sand.”
Role of habitat in mediating mortality during the post‐settlement transition phase of temperate marine fishes (2007, background): “Predator–prey encounter rates decreased and pursuits were hindered in the sponge habitat leading to more successful escape by the juvenile halibut (Ryer et al., 2004).”
Benthic invertebrates that form habitat on deep banks off southern California, with special reference to deep sea coral (2006, background): “Sponges, with their broad distributions, may also provide structure for flatfishes in low-relief mud habitats (Ryer et al., 2004) Black corals and gorgonians, in contrast, are more commonly found in current-swept areas near drop-offs and under ledges (Grigg, 1974; Parrish, 2004).”
