Benthic development on large-scale engineered reefs: a comparison of communities among breakwaters of different age and natural reefs
(2011-02)
Breakwaters represent large-scale engineered artificial reefs that can develop diverse and abundant communities and are likely to play an increasing role in marine ecosystems as human populations grow in coastal urban ...
Habitat Complexity Influences the Microhabitat Choices of Desert Beetles
(2011)
We present a model for prey survivorship varying with average space size/prey width (Sp/Py) and total cover within an area (Ct/At), which are habitat complexity indices. The model predicts that prey survivorship is maximized ...
