The spatial dynamics of ecosystem engineers [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, 2017 The changes on abiotic features of ecosystems have rarely been taken into account by population dynamics models, which typically focus on trophic and competitive interactions between species. However, understanding the population dynamics of organisms that must modify their habitats in order to survive, the so-called ecosystem engineers, requires the ...
