• Comparative ecology of desert small mammals: a selective review of the past 30 years (2011, background): “The engineering role of Indian crested porcupines (Hystrix indica) has been well documented (Alkon 1999; Boeken et al. 1998; Gutterman 2003; Shachak et al. 1991; Wilby et al. 2001), but these qualify only marginally as small mammals.”

• Mollusks as ecosystem engineers: the role of shell production in aquatic habitats (2003, background): “soil organisms: Anderson 1995; benthic bioturbators: Levinton 1995; some herbivores: Wilby et al. 2000; also see Jones et al. 1994, 1997 for reviews), identifying common, significant engineering features of groups of species is a major challenge in ecology.”
• Ecosystem engineering in space and time. (2007, background): “Second, food webs narrate only part of the story of interactions among species and their environment as all organisms engage in both trophic and engineering interactions to some degree (Wilby et al. 2001).”
• Soil invertebrates as ecosystem engineers: Intended and accidental effects on soil and feedback loops (2006, background): “Soil engineers affect soil processes and heterogeneity at widely different scales, ranging from soil aggregates and SOM dynamics to vegetation patterns and landscapes (Jones et al., 1997; Wilby et al., 2001).”
