The Concept of Organisms as Ecosystem Engineers Ten Years On: Progress, Limitations, and Challenges (2006, background): “…for ecosystem engineers (Gurney and Lawton 1996, Cuddington and Hastings 2004,Wright et al. 2004), analyses of the community impacts of engineers (Wright et al. 2002, Lill and Marquis 2003, Castilla et al. 2004), integration of trophic and engineering impacts (Wilby et al. 2001), cross-system…”
Assessing impacts of ecosystem engineers on community organization: a general approach illustrated by effects of a high‐Andean cushion plant (2006, background): “Such a patch-level question has a long tradition in ecology (reviewed by Wright and Jones 2004); there are specific predictions about expected general patterns (Jones et al. 1997), and a recent model for predicting the direction and magnitude of such effects as a function of engineer-induced…”
Ecosystem engineering in space and time. (2007, background): “At larger spatial scales, species diversity in a landscape of engineered and unmodified patches is likely to be increased, given differing habitat requirements of species responding to engineered and unengineered spaces (Jones et al. 1997; Wright et al. 2002; Wright & Jones 2004 ).”
Ecosystem engineering facilitates invasions by exotic plants in high‐Andean ecosystems (2007, background): “…when environmental modifications performed by ecosystem engineers result in amelioration of physical stress, it has been observed that their positive effects on other species increase as the surrounding unmodified habitat becomes harsher (Wright & Jones 2004; Badano & Cavieres 2006a; Wright et al .”
Impacts of ecosystem engineers on community attributes: effects of cushion plants at different elevations of the Chilean Andes (2006, background): “…and Distributions , 12 , 388–396, Journal compilation © 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd 389 know what engineers and in which sites will have greater effects on communities (Jones et al ., 1997), only a few studies have addressed this issue (e.g. Wright & Jones, 2004; Crain & Bertness, 2005).”
Progress toward understanding the ecological impacts of nonnative species (2013, background): “9) Ecosystem engineering Crooks (2002), Cuddington and Hastings (2004), Wright and Jones (2004) Nonnative ecosystem engineers that modify habitat in unique ways have larger impacts.”
Whole‐community facilitation by beaver: ecosystem engineer increases waterbird diversity (2014, background): “Thus, the above-mentioned model of ecosystem engineering by Wright and Jones (2004) predicted that in an area with limited food, the resource amelioration in beaver ponds will lead to an increased number of invertebrate-eating waterbird species, i.e. to facilitation of the whole community (Figure…”
Do Neotropical peccary species (Tayassuidae) function as ecosystem engineers for anurans? (2010, background): “Studies have shown that at the local scale (the scale of the engineered patch, sensu Wright & Jones 2004) the creation, modification, maintenance or destruction of habitats or resources can have either positive (Cuddington et al. 2009, Jones et al. 1997, Pringle 1 Corresponding author.”
Ecosystem structure, function, and restoration success: Are they related? (2006, background): “Direct and indirect competition among organisms, and the effects of ecosystem engineers, may preclude the existence of positive structure–functioning relationships (Lepart & Escarré 1983; Wright & Jones 2004).”
Responding to spatial and temporal variations in predation risk: space use of a game species in a changing landscape of fear (2009, background): “The wild boar is considered to be an engineer species that can strongly modify species richness by its feeding, rooting, stalling, or wallowing activities in protected ecosystems (see a short review in Wright and Jones 2004).”
Habitat engineering under dry conditions: The impact of pikas (Ochotona pallasi) on vegetation and site conditions in southern Mongolian steppes (2007, background): “One important result is that the relative importance of ecosystem engineering by a given species depends on the site conditions including productivity and climate (Crain & Bertness 2006; Kotliar et al. 1999; Wright & Jones 2004).”
Assembly rules operating along a primary riverbed–grassland successional sequence (2006, background): “It is possible therefore that lupins effectively act as autogenic ecosystem engineers (Wright & Jones 2004), altering the environment at a site and consequently altering the Beta guilds present.”
Ecosystem Engineering across Environmental Gradients: Implications for Conservation and Management (2006, background): “Competitive refuge can also be provided by organisms that generate alternative habitats where dominant competitors are absent, as do corals that form reefs where sponges that are competitively excluded from mangroves can persist in the absence of dominant competitors (Wulff 2005).”
