Habitat-mediated variation in the importance of ecosystem engineers for secondary cavity nesters in a nest web.
Through physical state changes in biotic or abiotic materials, ecosystem engineers modulate resource availability to other organisms and are major drivers of evolutionary and ecological dynamics. Understanding whether and how ecosystem engineers are interchangeable for resource users in different ha...
