Invasive plant and environmental pests can seriously impact environment, economy, health amenity. It is challenging to form response policies given the diversity of pest species; complex spatiotemporal interplay between arrival, spread, surveillance, control; limited field data when are rare/absent. Models provide useful decision support through exploration incursion pathways comparison surveillance control strategies. However, increased use quantitative models inform management requires...
Abstract Pollinators are introduced to agroecosystems provide pollination services. Introductions of managed pollinators often promote ecosystem services, but it remains largely unknown whether they also affect evolutionary mutualisms between wild and plants. Here, we developed a model assess effects honey bees on plants pollinators. Our tracked how interactions among affected pollinator plant populations. We show that when have competitive advantage over pollinators, or greater carrying...
