Currently, one of the central arguments in favour of biodiversity conservation is that it is essential for the maintenance of ecosystem services, that is, the benefits that people receive from ecosystems ...
To this end, the eco-evolutionary feedback theory proposed by David Post and Eric Palkovacs is analysed, arguing that it helps operationalise niche construction theory and develop a more sophisticated ...
Although species that are ecosystem engineers under certain circumstances may not be so under others, it is possible to identify fundamental engineering roles in ecosystems, independently of the specific ...
