• Continental-wide distribution of crayfish species in Europe: update and maps (2014, background): “…Decapoda, Astacida) are often considered keystone species in freshwater habitats (Momot, 1995; Dorn and Wojdak, 2004) or ecosystem engineers (Creed and Reed, 2004; Edwards et al., 2009), due to their prominent impact on physical structure of the environment as well as on biological…”
• Detritus processing, ecosystem engineering and benthic diversity: a test of predator–omnivore interference (2004, background): “Other empirical studies have shown that large stream biota influence sediment distribution (Statzner et al . 2000, 2003; Creed & Reed 2004 ).”
• Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “These population losses might have largescale effects because crayfish can act as ecosystem engineers (Creed and Reed 2004).”
