Abstract
Undesirable alien species and emerging infectious diseases (of both wildlife and humans) are urgent environmental concerns. Considerable effort has therefore been invested in understanding the ecology and evolution of invasive species and of infectious diseases. Despite exhibiting similar dynamics that are modeled with the same techniques, these phenomena are commonly studied by separate research communities for the purposes of risk analysis, management, and control. This project will develop techniques for risk analysis of intentional and unintentional introductions of non-indigenous species and will investigate areas of cross-fertilization with epidemiological theory. The products of this study will be tools for decision-making in the presence of uncertainty and specific recommendations for six case studies.
