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): “…competition (Holbrook and Schmitt 2002), refuge for prey from predators (Steele 1999), predators accumulating in locations where their prey are abundant (Stewart and Jones 2001), and fish exploiting reductions in strong environmental variables, such as high water flow rates (Johansen et al. 2008).”
Relationships between structural complexity, coral traits, and reef fish assemblages (2017, background): “Similarly, our correlative study did not consider 434 how reef fish behavior – e.g., swimming ability and the use of flow or habitat refuges 435 – might affect these patterns (Johansen et al. 2008).”
Increasing ocean temperature reduces the metabolic performance and swimming ability of coral reef damselfishes (2011, background): “Loss of swimming performance can be detrimental for any fish living in habitats where optimized swimming abilities are necessary for continued survival (e.g. Johansen et al., 2007, 2008).”
