Ecological implications of the presence of the tube-building polychaete Lanice conchilega on soft-bottom benthic ecosystems (2008, background): “conchilega aVect the density and species richness of the surrounding benthos, even at low densities (few ind/m2) (this study; Callaway 2006).”
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).”
A bio-engineered soft-bottom environment: The impact of Lanice conchilega on the benthic species-specific densities and community structure (2007, background): “conchilega in previous studies: Eumida sanguinea, Eteone longa, Phyllodoce maculatamucosa, Nephtys hombergii (Zühlke et al., 1998; Dittmann, 1999; Zühlke, 2001; Callaway, 2006).”
