Opportunities, research gaps, and risks in allogenic ecosystem engineer mimicry. [PDF]
Conserv BiolIn an age of anthropogenically driven species loss and increasingly novel ecosystems, ecosystem engineer restoration is a process-based approach to supporting ecosystem function. Many ecosystem engineers have low or declining population sizes.

Galapagos land iguanas as ecosystem engineers [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Background Declines of large-bodied herbivorous reptiles are well documented, but the consequences for ecosystem function are not. Understanding how large-bodied herbivorous reptiles engineer ecosystems is relevant given the current interest in ...

Beaver: Nature's ecosystem engineers
WIREs Water, 2020 AbstractBeavers have the ability to modify ecosystems profoundly to meet their ecological needs, with significant associated hydrological, geomorphological, ecological, and societal impacts. To bring together understanding of the role that beavers may play in the management of water resources, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems, this article ...

Biological Soil Crusts as Ecosystem Engineers in Antarctic Ecosystem
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Biological soil crusts (BSC) are considered as pivotal ecological elements among different ecosystems of the world. The effects of these BSC at the micro-site scale have been related to the development of diverse plant species that, otherwise, might be strongly limited by the harsh abiotic conditions found in environments with low water availability ...
