Assessing impacts of ecosystem engineers on community organization: a general approach illustrated by effects of a high‐Andean cushion plant (2006, background): “…discrete, distinctive patches (Wright et al. 2002: beaver; Cavieres et al. 2002: cushions plants; Lill and Marquis 2003: leaf-tying caterpillars; Machicote et al. 2004: burrowing mammals; Castilla et al. 2004: marine macroinvertebrates; Fritz et al. 2004: freshwater macrophytes; Wright et al.…”
Conservation opportunities across the world's anthromes (2014, background): “In many areas, invasive annual grasses have also decreased the available habitat for fossorial mammals, and a subsequent decline in their populations has been implicated as a key factor for the decline of burrowing owls (Machicote et al., 2004).”
Whole‐community facilitation by beaver: ecosystem engineer increases waterbird diversity (2014, background): “Facilitation takes place when one species has a beneficial effect on another species (van der Wal et al., 2000; Machicote et al., 2004).”
Reintroduction of fossorial native mammals and potential impacts on ecosystem processes in an Australian desert landscape (2007, background): “Few studies have considered multi-species engineering effects and the resulting landscape impacts (Brown and Heske, 1990; Milton et al., 1997; Machicote et al., 2004), and this study indicates that, at least for arid shrubland at Arid Recovery, all engineers are not equal.”
