The mechanisms that shape the distribution of an ecosystem engineer

Distribution of the Solidago altissima surveyed for Rhopalomyia solidaginis

July 9, 2013

The mechanisms that shape the distribution of an ecosystem engineer

Certain organisms are known as ecosystem engineers, meaning that they create or significantly modify habitats. Although these effects have been known for some time, few studies have examined the suite of processes that shape the abundance of ecosystem engineers. In this new study, the authors evaluate the relative influence of temporal variation, local processes, and latitude on the abundance of an engineering insect (a rosette-galling midge, Rhopalomyia solidaginis) as they manipulated genetic variation, soil nutrient availability, and the removal of other insects from the host plant (the tall goldenrod).

I told my colleagues that PeerJ is a journal where they need to publish if they want their paper to be published quickly and with the strict peer review expected from a good journal.
