摘要: Ecologists face rapidly accumulating environmental data form spatial studies and from large-scale field experiments such that many now specialize in information technology. Those scientists carry out interdisciplinary research what is known as ecological informatics. Ecological informatics defined a discipline brings together ecology computer science to solve problems using biologically-inspired computation, processing, other disciplines management visualization. Scientists working the have interests include knowledge discovery, clustering, forecasting, simulation of dynamics by individual-based or agent-based models, well hybrid models artificial life. In this chapter, techniques are applied answer questions about alien invasive species, particular, species pose biosecurity threat terrestrial setting. Biosecurity protection regionʼs environment, flora fauna, marine life, indigenous resources, human animal health. Because biological organisms can cause billions dollars impact any country, good science, systems, protocols underpin regulatory system required order facilitate international trade. The tools discussed chapter designed be used risk analysis procedure so agencies charge prioritize scarce resources effort better prepared prevent unexpected incursions dangerous species. methods predict, (1) which thousands might establish new area, (2) where those establish, and, (3) they spread over realistic landscape their determined.
