Assisted Colonization: A Question of Focal Units and Recipient Localities (2011, background): “These examples and several related reviews (e.g. Simberloff 1998; Boogert et al. 2006) suggest that foundation species and their relationships with biodiversity are common phenomena.”
Diversity and natural history of a Lithothamnion muelleri-Sargassum horridum community in the Gulf of California (2007, background): “Esta tendencia, contraria al énfasis en efectos tróficos, ha propiciado una más amplia consideración de los procesos importantes para la conservación de la diversidad (Boogert et al. 2006).”
Ecological Inheritance and Cultural Inheritance: What Are They and How Do They Differ? (2011, background): “…the natural control webs stemming from the niche-constructing/ecosystem-engineering activities of its constituent organisms that are vital to the functioning of ecosystems (Jones et al. 1994, 1997), with important implications for conservation (Boogert et al. 2006; Crain and Bertness 2006).”
Cultural Niche Construction: An Introduction (2011, background): “…and urban development, agricultural practices, livestock grazing, and pesticide use) are primarily examples of human niche construction/ecosystem engineering, which destroys the engineering control webs that underlie ecosystems (Boogert et al. 2006; see also Schielke et al. 2012, this issue).”
