Artificial reefs do increase secondary biomass production: mechanisms evidenced by stable isotopes (2014, background): “…architectural complexity of artificial structures provides shelter from predation for low trophic-level organisms or species at a vulnerable life stage, and allows the presence of numerous species of all sizes (Gorham & Alevizon 1989, Eklund 1997, Charbonnel et al. 2002, Gratwicke & Speight 2005).”
Long-term effects of the 1998 coral bleaching event on reef fish assemblages (2006, background): “In general, structurally complex reef habitats support both richer and more abundant fish communities than less complex habitats (e.g. Friedlander & Parrish 1998, Öhman & Rajasuriya 1998, Chittaro 2004, 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).”

Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “Experiments using non-coral materials to construct artificial reefs of differing complexities (e.g., caley & st John 1996, Gratwicke & speight 2005), manipulation of complexity within coral colonies or assemblages (sano et al. 1984, lewis 1997, syms & Jones 2000, Glynn 2006), and comparison of…”
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…”
Variation in the structure of epifaunal invertebrate assemblages among coral hosts (2010, background): “…diversity of habitats and topographic complexity provided by scleractinian corals (Luckhurst and Luckhurst 1978; Sale 1991; McClanahan 1994; Jennings et al. 1996; Öhman and Rajasuriya 1998; Lawson et al. 1999; Lindahl et al. 2001; Gratwicke and Speight 2005; Garpe et al. 2006; Wilson et al. 2007).”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, background): “Whereas, live coral may be important for only some species (Öhman et al., 1998) and certain functional groups of fishes (Spalding & Jarvis, 2002), habitat complexity is likely to be important for most fishes (Luckhurst & Luckhurst, 1978; Gratwicke & Speight, 2005).”
Flattening of Caribbean coral reefs: region-wide declines in architectural complexity (2009, background): “Gratwicke & Speight 2005; Idjadi & Edmunds 2006; Wilson et al. 2007).”
Testing the effect of habitat structure and complexity on nekton assemblages using experimental oyster reefs (2011, background): “A variety of ecological theories have been suggested to explain demographic patterns in structurally complex habitats (e.g., Christensen and Persson, 1993; Gratwicke and Speight, 2005; Hicks, 1980; MacArthur and MacArthur, 1961).”
