It explains the foundation and concepts behind surveillance design, with examples of methods and tools created to deal with surveillance challenges. With supporting case studies and including current directions in research, it covers evidence-based approaches to surveillance, statistics, detectability, single and multi-species detection, risk assessment, diagnostics, data-basing, modelling of invasion and spread, optimisation, and future climate challenges Analysis invasieve soorten invasive species invasieve exoten invasive alien species introduced species onkruiden weeds dieren animals plagen pests toezicht surveillance kwantitatieve analyse quantitative analysis kwantitatieve technieken quantitative techniques remote sensing beeldanalyse image analysis wiskundige modellen mathematical models biodiversiteit biodiversity statistische analyse statistical analysis gevalsanalyse case studies Weed Control Ecology (General) Onkruidbestrijding Ecologie (algemeen) Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Biological invasions -- Prevention Plant invasions -- Prevention Environmental monitoring.
