Bioengineer effects on understory species richness, diversity, and composition change along an environmental stress gradient: Experimental and mensurative evidence (2013, background): “Bioengineers may become even more influential as climate change develops, by maintaining refuges for organisms subjected to harsher abiotic stresses than they are accustomed (Cavieres et al., 2002).”
Weak and variable relationships between environmental severity and small‐scale co‐occurrence in alpine plant communities (2007, background): “Indeed, non-random co-occurrence indicative of facilitative relationships in high-mountain environments has mostly been reported between species of different growth forms (Carlsson & Callaghan 1991; Cavieres et al. 2002; Kalin-Arroyo et al. 2003; Klanderud 2005).”
Impacts of ecosystem engineers on community attributes: effects of cushion plants at different elevations of the Chilean Andes (2006, result): “…correlational and more experimental evidence is needed, these results concur with the suggestion that mitigation of extreme low temperatures by cushions could be more critical for the persistence of other high-Andean plant species as elevation increases (Cavieres et al., 2002; Arroyo et al., 2003).”
Nurse effect of the native cushion plant Azorella monantha on the invasive non-native Taraxacum officinale in the high-Andes of central chile (2005, methodology): “We performed 1000 runs of random redistributions, and calculated the probability of the observed frequency within cushions being generated by chance (see also Cavieres et al., 2002, in press).”
Variability in functional traits mediates plant interactions along stress gradients (2013, methodology): “Elevation gradients in mountain systems have often been used to test the stress-gradient hypothesis, assuming higher elevations to be more stressful for plants (e.g. Callaway et al. 2002; Cavieres et al. 2002; Kikvidze et al. 2005, 2011; Antonsson, Bj€ork & Molau 2009; le Roux & McGeoch 2010).”
Facilitation of the non-native Taraxacum officinale by native nurse cushion species in the high Andes of central Chile: are there differences between nurses? (2007, methodology): “We performed 1000 runs of random redistributions, and calculated the probability of the observed frequency within each cushion species being generated by chance (see also Cavieres et al. 2002, 2005 ).”
Microclimatic Modifications of Cushion Plants and Their Consequences for Seedling Survival of Native and Non-native Herbaceous Species in the High Andes of Central Chile (2007, background): “…in communities dominated by cushions grew more frequently within cushions than outside them (Nuñez et al., 1999; Molina-Montenegro et al., 2000; Badano et al., 2002; Arroyo et al., 2003; Cavieres et al., 1998, 2002, 2006), suggesting that cushions may influence the survival of other species.”
Do biotic interactions shape both sides of the humped-back model of species richness in plant communities? (2006, background): “Ecology Letters (2006) 9: 767–773 2006 Blackwell Publishing Ltd/CNRS”
Assessing impacts of ecosystem engineers on community organization: a general approach illustrated by effects of a high‐Andean cushion plant (2006, background): “Therefore, cushions can influence plant community organization by differentially affecting plant species (Badano et al. 2002, Cavieres et al. 2002, Arroyo et al. 2003).”
Do facilitative interactions increase species richness at the entire community level? (2009, background): “For example, studies conducted at two contrasting elevations in the high-alpine zone of theChilean PatagonianAndes showed that while cushions species and open areas did not differ in species richness at lower elevations, at higher elevations cushions contained three- to fourfold more species than op”
Positive associations between the cushion plant Azorella monantha (Apiaceae) and alpine plant species in the Chilean Patagonian Andes (2004, background): “…a number of researchers have searched for evidence of the nurse effect through species association in the alpine habitat (Kikvidze 1996; Kikvidze and Nakhutsrishvili 1998; Cavieres et al. 1998; Nuñez et al. 1999; Molina-Montenegro et al. 2000; Choler et al. 2001; Cavieres et al. 2002 (in press)).”
The Concept of Organisms as Ecosystem Engineers Ten Years On: Progress, Limitations, and Challenges (2006, background): “Ecosystem engineers can be important in controlling local microclimate and could therefore be influential in maintaining refuges for other species in the face of climate change (Cavieres et al. 2002).”
