Habitat complexity: approaches and future directions (2011, background): “Several studies assessed complexity as variability in substrate particle size (e.g., Robertson & Milner, 2006); whereas others described substrate heterogeneity using diversity and evenness indices (Brown, 2003) and fractal dimension (Robson & Chester, 1999).”
Creating complex habitats for restoration and reconciliation (2015, background): “complexity has been hypothesised to be one of the primary drivers of biodiversity (Pianka, 2000), there is a growing consensus that incorporating and/or enhancing habitat complexity is likely to be critical for future restoration efforts (Bernhardt and Palmer, 2007; Brown, 2003).”
Algal communities in human‐impacted stream ecosystems suffer beta‐diversity decline (2007, background): “…alterations of the natural stream habitat can be detrimental to the ecosystem considering that physical and hydraulic heterogeneity are essential for maintaining diverse communities in streams (BaattrupPedersen & Riis, 1999; Beisel et al ., 2000; Passy, 2001; Cardinale et al ., 2002; Brown, 2003).”
Local environment and space drive multiple facets of stream macroinvertebrate beta diversity (2018, background): “Dolédec, & Melo, 2016), and it has indeed been found to be a key structuring factor in macroinvertebrate communities (Boyero, 2003; Brown, 2003).”
