We review and synthesize recent developments in the study of the spread of invasive
species, emphasizing both empirical and theoretical approaches. Recent theoretical work …

There is currently much debate concerning the risks of biological control and the potential
harmful effects of nonindigenous species introduced for controlling exotic pests. Biocontrol …

Research in both ecology and AI strives for predictive understanding of complex systems,
where nonlinearities arise from multidimensional interactions and feedbacks across multiple …

Many ecological phenomena may be modelled using apparently random processes
involving space (and possibly time). Such phenomena are classified as spatial in their …

Written by a world-respected scientist on the subject of the book, this is an advanced text for
students of ecology, population biology and evolution, as well as professional ecologists …

The story of this edition is a testament to an almost legendary gure in theoretical ecology
and to the in uence his work and charisma has had on the eld. It is also a story that can only …

Most of the fundamental elements of ecology, ranging from individual behavior to species
abundance, diversity, and population dynamics, exhibit spatial variation. Partial differential …

Weeds have ecological attributes that confer the ability to interfere with human activities.
Roger Cousens and Martin Mortimer place weed management within an ecological context …

Biodiversity losses caused by invasive species may soon surpass the damage done by
habitat destruction and fragmentation. Some invaders explode quickly; others have a long" …

In this paper we study the diffusion approximation to a transport equation that describes the
motion of individuals whose velocity changes are governed by a Poisson process. We show …
