A spatial modeling approach to predicting the secondary spread of invasive species due to ballast water discharge. [PDF]
Ballast water in ships is an important contributor to the secondary spread of invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Here, we use a model previously created to determine the role ballast water management has played in the secondary spread of ...
