Dynamics of Biological Invasions

Cover
Springer Science & Business Media, 30.06.1989 - 160 Seiten
This study of biological invasions introduces dynamic concepts into biogeography and spatial concepts into ecology. By using mathematical models from epidemiology and human geography generalizations can be made and it is shown that apparently static species ranges contain dynamic internal parameters.
