Summary: River restoration plays a crucial role in improving water quality, supporting biodiversity, and increasing resilience. However, beaver-based restoration strategies are underutilized, despite evidence of their effectiveness. Given climate-driven disturbances, now is the perfect time to apply the science of beaver-based low-tech process-based stream restoration to support climate resilience.

Housed in a lodge: occurrence of animal species within Eurasian beaver constructions in Central Italy

Andrea Viviano et al.

Summary: Eurasian beavers are important ecosystem engineers that can modify freshwater environments and influence local biodiversity. A study in Central Italy found that native animal species, including some of conservation concern, use beaver lodges and dams. The yellow-necked field mouse was the most detected species within beaver structures.

Eurasian beaver-A semi-aquatic ecosystem engineer rearranges the assemblage of terrestrial mammals in winter

Izabela Fedyn et al.

Summary: There is increasing awareness of the ecosystem engineering services provided by recovering populations of Eurasian beaver. By modifying aquatic environments, this species has a significant, positive influence on biodiversity. Our study in Poland compared the species richness and activity of terrestrial mammals at beaver ponds and randomly-selected reference sites. The results showed that beaver sites had higher species richness and activity, and the presence of beavers also rearranged the occurrence and activity of the terrestrial mammal assemblage.

Ecosystem services provided by beavers Castor spp.

Stella Thompson et al.

Summary: The study aims to identify the value of beaver-produced ecosystem services and quantify their theoretical value for the entire Northern Hemisphere. Beaver activities provide various services such as water purification, extreme event moderation, habitat and biodiversity provision, among others. Implementing Payments for Ecosystem Services schemes could lead to increased societal well-being and conservation efforts.

Population and distribution of beaversCastor fiberandCastor canadensisin Eurasia

Duncan J. Halley et al.

Summary: The Eurasian beaver population, which was once drastically reduced due to overhunting, has seen a significant recovery over the past century with reintroductions and natural spread. The species has more than tripled its population since the late 20th century, now reaching an estimated 1.5 million. Beavers have been successfully reintroduced in most European countries and are now expanding their range rapidly, playing a crucial role as ecosystem engineers.

Dam builders and their works: Beaver influences on the structure and function of river corridor hydrology, geomorphology, biogeochemistry and ecosystems

Annegret Larsen et al.

Summary: Beavers are influential mammalian ecosystem engineers who heavily modify river corridor dynamics through dam construction, affecting hydrology, geomorphology, biogeochemistry, and aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Their impacts include increasing water storage, altering water budgets, enhancing nutrient residence times, and changing habitat complexity and biodiversity.

Responses of small mammals to habitat characteristics in Southern Carpathian forests

Ana Maria Benedek et al.

Summary: The study aimed to fill the knowledge gap on habitat use by small mammals in the Southern Carpathian forests. Results showed similarities in habitat use between the study area and Northern Carpathians, but also revealed important differences likely caused by latitude and forest management practices.

Small mammal assemblage in beaver-modified habitats

Janne Sundell et al.

Summary: The study found that the actions of beavers in water bodies within boreal forests do not have a significant effect on small mammal diversity and numbers at the regional scale, but may have a positive effect on them at the larger landscape level as beavers increase the overall habitat diversity in the landscape.
