Modeling Resource Cooperation in Invasive Species Bridgehead Systems by Thomas Benz ’19, Mathematics Senior Thesis Defense, Tuesday, May 14, 11:15 am, Stetson Court Classroom 105

Abstract:  Bridgehead effects are a recently-discovered invasive species dispersal pattern, whereby invasive populations act as the source for further invasions. We construct a discrete-time stochastic model of bridgehead invasion systems. Furthermore, we analyze how “resource cooperation” between distinct geographic areas could be effective in reducing the spread of invasive alien species.
