Diverse interactions and ecosystem engineering can stabilize community assembly

Diverse interactions and ecosystem engineering can stabilize community assembly

The dynamics of ecological communities depends on interactions between species as well as those between species and their environment, however the effects of the latter are poorly understood. Here, Yeakel et al. reveal how species that modify their environment (ecosystem engineers) impact community...
