The Mathematics Behind Biological Invasions

by Jonathan R. Potts, Sergei V. Petrovskii, Mark A. Lewis, et al.

Book Overview

This book investigates the mathematical analysis of biological invasions. Unlike purely qualitative treatments of ecology, it draws on mathematical theory and methods, equipping the reader with sharp tools and rigorous methodology. Subjects include invasion dynamics, species interactions, population spread, long-distance dispersal, stochastic effects, risk analysis, and optimal responses to invaders. While based on the theory of dynamical systems,...
