- Assessing impacts of ecosystem engineers on community organization: a general approach illustrated by effects of a high‐Andean cushion plant (2006, background): “…by a large number of studies (Flecker 1996, Thomas et al. 1998, Ceballos et al. 1999, Crooks and Khim 1999, Schooley et al. 2000, Raspopov et al. 2002, McCabe and Gotelli 2003, Clarke et al. 2004, Fritz et al. 2004, Flecker and Taylor 2004), albeit using different approaches and metrics.”
- Ecosystem Engineering across Environmental Gradients: Implications for Conservation and Management (2006, background): “Also across the estuarine salinity gradient, the mechanisms and outcomes of engineering by hummock-forming marsh plants shift dramatically (Fogel et al. 2004, Crain and Bertness 2005).”
- River and wetland food webs in Australia's wet–dry tropics: general principles and implications for management (2005, background): “Strong top-down control by such macroconsumers is emerging as a characteristic feature of tropical streams and rivers, with fish and shrimp capable of exerting a disproportionately large influence on benthic sediments, detritus, nutrient demand and algal and invertebrate communities (Pringle et al. ”
- Biotic interactions in freshwater benthic habitats (2010, background): “Grazing of overstory diatoms by fishes in Ozark and Andean streams can uncover underlying N-fixing cyanobacteria (Calothrix) that might enhance N loading (Power et al. 1988a, Flecker 1996, Flecker and Taylor 2004).”
- Attached Algae: The Cryptic Base of Inverted Trophic Pyramids in Freshwaters (2017, background): “Grazers also clear off silt and sediments (Power 1984a, Flecker & Taylor 2004).”
- Invasion of stream fishes into low trophic positions (2007, background): “Rather, algivory and detritivory may have a series of indirect effects that could have a resounding affect in stream food webs (e.g., Matthews 1998; Flecker & Taylor 2004).”
- Impacts of ecosystem engineers on community attributes: effects of cushion plants at different elevations of the Chilean Andes (2006, background): “…hence affecting other species and, consequently, altering community attributes of natural species assemblages (Flecker, 1996; Aho et al ., 1998; Berkenbusch & Rowden, 2003; Lill & Marquis, 2003; McCabe & Gotelli, 2003; Perelman et al ., 2003; Flecker & Taylor, 2004; Casas-Crivillé & Varela, 2005).”
