Characterizing ecosystem‐level consequences of biological invasions: the role of ecosystem engineers (2002, background): “Both species, which are presumed to be exotic in the United States, are suggested to cause loss of vegetated wetland habitat through bioerosion (Carlton and Ruckelshaus 1997, Talley et al. 2001).”
The Implications of Niche Construction and Ecosystem Engineering for Conservation Biology (2006, background): “For example, observations and enclosure experiments demonstrate that the Australasian isopod Sphaeroma quoyanum exacerbates California salt marsh erosion through its burrowing and filter feeding, with losses exceeding 100 centimeters of marsh edge per year (Talley et al. 2001).”
Saltmarsh erosion and restoration in south-east England: squeezing the evidence requires realignment: Saltmarsh erosion and restoration (2005, background): “Two recent studies from the Atlantic coast of Argentina (O. Iribarne, unpublished data) and the Pacific coast of North America ( Talley, Crooks & Levin 2001 ) have shown convincingly that crabs and burrowing copepods, respectively, can erode and destroy existing marsh structures.”
