About this book

The author brings together a number of disciplines, introducing dynamic concepts into biogeography, and spatial concepts into ecology. By using mathematical models from epidemiology and human geography, it is shown that apparently static species ranges contain dynamic internal parameters.

Contents

Part 1 Theory: perspectives of biological invasions; examples of invasions; measures of areal expansion; poopulation growth; diffusion. Part 2 Applications and interpretation: parameter estimation and ecological boundry conditions; simulating biological invasions; birds invading Europe and America; the stochastic structure of the wave front of rabies in Central Europe; interpreting biological invasions.
