This thesis develops new statistical, and decision making tools for the detection and eradication of invasive species. The first section develops models to predict locations of invasive species so monitoring effort can be concentrated there. The first chapter develops an advanced species distribution model that includes dispersal and environmental tolerances and outperforms traditional species distribution models of just environmental tolerances. In addition this model is able to capture estimates of the target species fecundity, dispersal range, environmental tolerances and conspecific larval aggregation. The second chapter compares the performance of this statistical model to a popular form of mechanistic hydrodynamic model that is widely...
