Population ecology of insect invasions and their management
AM Liebhold, PC Tobin - Annu. Rev. Entomol., 2008 - annualreviews.org
During the establishment phase of a biological invasion, population dynamics are strongly
influenced by Allee effects and stochastic dynamics, both of which may lead to extinction of …
