A comparison of epifauna and epiphytes on native kelps (Laminaria species) and an invasive alga (Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides) in Nova Scotia, Canada (2006, background): “…associated epibiota (epifauna and epiphytic algae) by providing microhabitat for colonization (Duggins et al. 1990, Grimm 1995, Jones et al. 1997, Crooks 2002) and by modifying physical factors, such as water flow (Duggins et al. 1990, Ackerman and Okubo 1993, Koehl et al. 2003) and light…”
Nurse effect of the native cushion plant Azorella monantha on the invasive non-native Taraxacum officinale in the high-Andes of central chile (2005, background): “…of facilitative impacts on invasive processes are non-native animals pollinating and dispersing plants, and non-native animals and plants modifying the environment in ways that favor the spread of other non-native species (Simberloff and von Holle, 1999; Richardson et al., 2000; Crooks, 2002).”
Mytilid mussels: global habitat engineers in coastal sediments (2009, neutral): “Therefore, according to the concept of Jones et al. (1994, 1997), mussels are considered ecosystem engineers (Crooks 2002; Gutiérrez et al. 2003).”
Economics of Harmful Invasive Species: A Review (2014, background): “However, it is also recognized that HIS also alter the magnitude and stability of ecosystem functioning, and delivery of supporting, provisioning, regulating and recreational/cultural ecosystem services [12,15].”
Mussels as ecosystem engineers: Their contribution to species richness in a rocky littoral community (2007, background): “The positive effect of mussels supports the suggestion of Crooks (2002), who stated that engineers that increase ‘‘habitat complexity’’ tend to favour either the diversity or abundance of organisms.”
Tree invasions: a comparative test of the dominant hypotheses and functional traits (2011, background): “In forests, trees play the role of ecosystem engineers and regulate ecosystem functions (Reich et al. 2001; Crooks 2002; Belote and Jones 2009).”
Ecosystem engineering facilitates invasions by exotic plants in high‐Andean ecosystems (2007, background): “The process of ecosystem engineering can result in the creation of habitat patches with different environmental conditions than surrounding unmodified habitat, and the presence of such habitat patches in natural landscapes has been shown to affect the distribution and performance of both native (Wri”
Down under the southeastern Pacific: marine non-indigenous species in Chile (2005, background): “Pyura praeputialis, Heterozostera tasmanica, Mastocarpus papillatus) may have caused positive ecological impacts via the enhancement of local biodiversity (Castilla et al. 2004; also see Crooks 2002 ), nursery grounds and/or in connection with commercial exploitation.”
The potential for hull‐mediated species transfers by obsolete ships on their final voyages (2008, background): “Such three-dimensional structure generally leads to increased diversity and abundance of mobile organisms in fouling communities and probably played such a role here, creating microhabitats that otherwise would not exist (Crooks, 2002).”
Destruction without extinction: long‐term impacts of an invasive tree species on Galápagos highland vegetation (2009, background): “…strong adverse effects of invasive species on the structure and composition of resident plant and animal communities are especially anticipated for certain species, termed ‘habitat transformers’ (Richardson et al. 2000) or ‘ecosystem engineers’ (Jones, Lawton & Shachak 1994; Crooks 2002).”
BIVALVE AQUACULTURE AND EXOTIC SPECIES: A REVIEW OF ECOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT ISSUES (2007, background): “Bivalves, especially large forms found in dense aggregations, similar to those grown in aquaculture, may have a considerable influence on the ecosystem (Crooks 2002) and their effect may extend beyond the communities of exotic bivalves themselves and into adjacent habitats (Dame 1996).”
The influence of invasive earthworms on indigenous fauna in ecosystems previously uninhabited by earthworms (2006, background): “’’ Ecosystem engineers are organisms which, by their structure or activities, alter physical resource availability for other organisms (Jones et al. 1994, 1997; Crooks 2002).”
Biogeomorphic Impacts of Invasive Species (2014, background): “Crooks (2002) reviewed the effects of biological invasions involving ecosystem engineers and provided 24 specific examples.”
Biotic indirect effects: a neglected concept in invasion biology (2006, background): “…abiotic resource modification can have major impacts on an invaded system, as demonstrated by numerous recent studies (e.g. Fogarty & Facelli, 1999; Standish et al ., 2001; Lenz et al ., 2003; Wolf et al ., 2004; Yelenik et al ., 2004) (see Crooks, 2002 for a comprehensive review of this topic).”
