text: We hypothesized that engineering effects of giant kangaroo rats (i.e. burrow creation) would facilitate animal species known to benefit from subterranean habitat creation or soil disturbance, whereas non‐engineering effects (i.e. interactions mediated by the presence or density of giant kangaroo rats) would suppress other granivores and herbivores through both interference and exploitative competition ( Hawkins & Nicoletto 1992 ; Heske, Brown & Mistry 1994 ; Fig. 1 ).
