  Integrating Ecologu and Economics to Manage Bioinvasions: where, when, who, and how much?
  Rebecca Epanchin-Niell

  Biological invasions are spatial-dynamic processes — they unfold over space and time, driven by a combination of reproduction and dispersal. Consequently, their management requires weighing not only how much and when to invest in control to reduce their damages, but where controls should be applied. Furthermore, invasions unfold in landscapes comprising numerous, independently managed properties such that their spread depends on the control choices of many landowners. Here I present three bioeconomic studies that address these complexities of bioinvasion management. They examine 1) optimal surveillance design for early detection of invasions, 2) optimal spatial control strategies, and 3) individual and cooperative invasion management.
