Foundation species facilitate communities, modulate energy flow, and define ecosystems,
but their ecological roles after death are frequently overlooked. Here, we reveal the …

Recognizing the historical loss of habitats and the value and opportunities for their recovery
is essential for mobilizing habitat restoration as a solution for managing ecosystem function …

Increasingly, urbanised coastlines are being armoured by shoreline protection structures,
such as seawalls. Seawalls typically lack the complex microhabitats and protective spaces …

The marine environment is being increasingly modified by the construction of artificial
structures, the impacts of which may be mitigated through eco-engineering. To date, eco …

The construction of artificial structures, such as seawalls, is increasing globally, resulting in
loss of habitat complexity and native species biodiversity. There is increasing interest in …

Co‐occurring foundation species can determine biological community structure via
facilitation cascades. We examined the density dependencies of facilitation cascades …

As the rate of global change increases, the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems,
including the food webs that underpin them, will radically alter. Forecasting the …

Ecosystem engineers that modify the thermal environment experienced by associated
organisms might assist in the climate change adaptation of species. This depends on the …

Ecosystem engineers facilitate communities by providing a structural habitat that reduces
abiotic stress or predation pressure for associated species. However, disturbance may …

Intertidal rocky shores are considered among the most thermally stressful marine
ecosystems, where many species live close to their upper thermal limit and depend on …
