文摘

Invasive bivalves do not act as facilitators for benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Benthic macroinvertebrate communities become more complex with the presence of invasive bivalves. Eco-exergy and specific eco-exergy are able to capture the effects of biological invasion over the complexity of benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Results suggest an invasion meltdown scenario with the invasive bivalves being followed by the invasive gastropod Melanoides tuberculata.
