A mechanistic model for understanding invasions: using the environment as a predictor of population success
Download2011-01-01
DiBacco, C., Lewis, Mark A., Strasser, C. A.
Aim We set out to develop a temperature-and salinity-dependent mechanistic population model for copepods that can be used to understand the role of environmental parameters in population growth or decline. Models are an important tool for understanding the dynamics of invasive species; our model...

Temperature-dependent Allee effects in a stage-structured model for Bythotrephes establishment
Download2011-01-01
Young, J. D., Yan, N. D., Lewis, Mark A., Wittmann, M. J.
Whether the invasive freshwater cladoceran Bythotrephes longimanus can establish after introduction into a water body depends on several biotic and abiotic factors. Among these, water temperature is important because both development rates and mode of reproduction (parthenogenetic or sexual) in...
