Driving simulation sickness and the sense of presence: Correlation and contributing factors by Mustafa Almallah (17280568)

“…Importantly, designing buildings that replicate a real-world environment could increase SP and decrease SS. Moreover, designing high quality and resolution scenarios could also increase SP, thus decreasing the severity of SS symptoms. …”

Effects of habitat complexity on the abundance, species richness and size of darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) in artificial vegetation by Bartholomew, Aaron

“…Increasing complexity appeared to lead to decreasing beetle widths. 9 beetle species were relatively rare in, or absent from, the higher complexity treatments, including 5 of the 6 largest species. 2 rare, small beetle species were only found in higher complexity treatments. …”
