Removing invasive stream macrofauna shifts nontarget invertebrate mesofauna through facilitation
Abstract Positive interactions among non‐native species can drive invasional meltdowns to the detriment of native biota. Here, we assessed whether targeted control of aquatic invasive species (AIS) can benefit native species by eliminating synergies among invaders.
