Topographic complexity is widely accepted as a key driver of biodiversity, but at the patch‐scale, complexity–biodiversity relationships may vary spatially and temporally according to the environmental stressors complexity mitigates, and the species richness and identity of potential colonists. Using a manipulative experiment, we assessed spatial variation in patch‐scale effects of complexity on intertidal biodiversity.

对海洋人工结构复杂性-生物多样性关系的全球分析

地形复杂性已被广泛认为是生物多样性的主要驱动力，但在斑块范围内，复杂性与生物多样性之间的关系可能会随环境压力因素复杂性的减轻以及物种丰富度和潜在殖民者的身份而在空间和时间上发生变化。通过操纵实验，我们评估了斑块规模对潮间带生物多样性影响的空间变化。
