Settlement and Survival of the Oyster Crassostrea virginica on Created Oyster Reef Habitats in Chesapeake Bay (2007, background): “Experimental studies have demonstrated that habitat complexity reduces predator foraging efﬁciency by reducing the predator–prey encounter rate (Bartholomew et al. 2000; Grabowski 2004).”
PREDATOR-AVOIDANCE BEHAVIOR EXTENDS TROPHIC CASCADES TO REFUGE HABITATS (2005, background): “Previous mesocosm experiments in this settling tank have demonstrated that mesocosms enclose all predators (Grabowski 2004).”
Partitioning mechanisms of Predator Interference in different Habitats (2006, background): “Strong behavioral effects can still occur in habitats where intermediate predators are relatively more protected from top predators, if intermediate predators are incapable of discerning predation risk from top predators (Grabowski 2004).”
Habitat complexity mitigates trophic transfer on oyster reefs (2004, methodology): “Additional small prey organisms such as isopods, amphipods, polychaetes, and mollusks entered the individual enclosures via the UNC-IMS water pumping system (Martin et al. 1989, Grabowski 2004).”
Introduction of Non-Native Oysters: Ecosystem Effects and Restoration Implications (2005, background): “Grabowski (2004) demonstrated that the structural complexity of native-oyster reef habitat strongly controlled the strength of predation by oyster toadfish (Opsanus tau) on resident mud-crab populations (P. herbstii).”
Benthic flow environments affect recruitment of Crassostrea virginica larvae to an intertidal oyster reef (2012, background): “In addition, although not directly measured, these tightly packed, vertical surfaces may also provide additional refuge from predation (Grabowski 2004).”
THE ROLE OF OYSTERS IN HABITAT USE OF OYSTER REEFS BY RESIDENT FISHES AND DECAPOD CRUSTACEANS (2009, background): “Toadfish are known to feed on xanthid crabs (Bisker et al. 1989, Grabowski 2004) and a large individual collected during this study was found with a single Eurypanopeus depressus inside its stomach.”
Habitat structural complexity metrics improve predictions of fish abundance and distribution (2018, background): “Thus, it is important to encompass broad extents at high-resolution to better understand how habitat features spatially influence fish assemblages (Grabowski 2004).”
The comparative effects of habitat complexity on faunal assemblages of northern temperate artificial and natural reefs (2009, background): “However, community resilience will increase as trophic interactions become weakened with the decreased predator efficiencies caused by increased structural complexity (Diehl, 1992; Grabowski, 2003).”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “Reduced mortality of the mussels may be explained by reduced predator–prey encounter rates in the structurally more complex oyster reef (Bartholomew et al., 2000; Grabowski, 2004; Section 4.2), as well as a reduced accessibility for predatory birds such as the oystercatcher H. ostralegus.”
Quantifying habitat structure: surface convolution and living space for species in complex environments (2008, background): “It can also refer to living structures such as trees (Lawton 1986) or oyster reefs (Grabowski 2004), or any surface upon which organisms live.”
Comparisons of macrofaunal assemblages on restored and non-restored oyster reefs in mesohaline regions of Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (2006, background): “This function can be optimized by designing reefs for maximum habitat complexity (Grabowski, 2004).”
SCARED TO DEATH? THE EFFECTS OF INTIMIDATION AND CONSUMPTION IN PREDATOR–PREY INTERACTIONS (2005, background): “First, cascading predator effects due to behavioral shifts may cause systems to respond far more powerfully and quickly than consumption rates alone would predict (Schmitz et al. 1997, Schmitz 1998, Grabowski 2004).”
