• 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).”
• 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): “Soft bottom mytilid beds were already known to generally enhance habitat heterogeneity and species diversity at the ecosystem level (Günther, 1996; Buschbaum 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).”
• Effect of pH on Gene Expression and Thermal Tolerance of Early Life History Stages of Red Abalone (Haliotis rufescens) (2010, background): “Molluscs are recognized as important ecosystem engineers (Gutiérrez et al. 2003), forming mussel beds (Norling & Kautsky 2007, Buschbaum et al. 2009) and oyster beds (Wells 1961, Zimmerman et al. 1989, Coen et al. 2007, Brumbaugh & Coen 2009).”
