The paper compares three eradication programs for pest species, highlighting the risks of over-extending eradication efforts without proper geographic risk assessment.

The paper shows ex ante analyses using a PBDM can predict natural enemy efficacy in biological control, increasing success rates in managing invasive species like cassava mealybug and green mite.

The paper develops physiologically based demographic models to analyze invasive species dynamics in Africa, emphasizing the importance of biological data for predictive modeling.
