Estimating the probability of establishment of non-indigenous species is a crucial element in managing their spread. In this thesis, I use two approaches to estimate the probability of establishment of Bythotrephes longimanus, a predatory cladoceran that is invading lakes in Ontario and the surrounding American states. At a watershed level, I develop a vector based model to predict the probability of establishment of B. longimanus over time. I use metrics of propagule pressure from anthropogenic and natural dispersal to estimate spread, and extend the model to incorporate spatial and temporal gaps in knowledge of the invasion status of lakes. I found that recreational boating traffic is the dominant vector of spread and that most risk to la...
