Shorter flight initiation distances were observed in damselfish at sites with higher field of view.
Field of view, refuge density, and rugosity were assessed using 3D models across three reef sites.
Damselfish exhibited species-specific anti-predator responses linked to habitat structure, especially field of view.
Findings indicate the importance of evaluating multiple habitat dimensions for understanding fish behavior.
