DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1711
Abstract: By changing ecosystem processes and altering the physical landscape, invasive ecosystem engineers can have substantial impacts on ecosystem functions and human economies and may facilitate other non-native species. Eradication programs in terrestrial and aquatic systems… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.apsoil.2017.12.021
Abstract: Abstract Although soil organisms might strongly affect the dynamics and composition of natural vegetation, relatively few studies have tried to in-situ manipulate soil fauna, especially in restoration ecology. The objective of this study was thus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2020.104244
Abstract: Abstract Burrow-dwelling rodents are often considered ecosystem engineer species in arid environments. They create distinct habitat patches by building burrows: they move large amounts of soil, mix soil layers and change soil properties locally. Our… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.105238
Abstract: Artificial light at night (ALAN) is one of the most extensive human geographic disturbances to wildlife. ALAN can have ecological and evolutionary effects on individual organisms, which in turn can affect populations, communities and ecosystems.… read more here.
