From apparent competition to facilitation: Impacts of consumer niche construction on the coexistence and stability of consumer‐resource communities

2019-09-01

Abstract excerpt

In addition to their direct trophic effects, some consumers have a positive indirect effect on their resource, due to niche construction. A predator can facilitate its prey resource acquisition, through prey transport, or through modifications of nutrient cycling. Alternatively, a predator may defend its prey against other predators, or actively manage it, as in agriculture, which is found in numerous taxa such as...
