The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Habitat complexity and community composition: relationships between different ecosystem engineers and the associated macroinvertebrate assemblages (2011, background): “…increasing the availability of food, substratum for larvae settlement and supplying new refugia from predators and physical unfavorable conditions (Schwindt et al. 2001; Callaway 2006; Levin et al. 2006; Commito et al. 2008; Jackson et al. 2008; Buschbaum et al. 2009; Maggi et al. 2009).”
Ecological value of coastal habitats for commercially and ecologically important species (2014, background): “Generally, the mussel bed community is more species rich and contains different species than the surrounding soft sediment habitat (Commito et al., 2008; Buschbaum et al., 2009; Ysebaert et al., 2009).”
Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “Mussel beds are argued to raise and stabilize the sediment surface locally (Reise, 2002; Commito et al., 2008).”
