Reducing uncertainty in species management - expert estimates for 60 aquatic invasive species in the Laurentian Great Lakes.

Demographic parameter values elicited from 24 North American experts for 60 aquatic invasive species present in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Values represent the minimum, mean, and maximum for a 95% probability of establishment for two parameters: alpha, the per propagule probability of establishment, and X0, the time it would take to reach half maximum population size. These values were subsequently incorporated in an existing mechanistic model (Drake et al., 2015), to examine the potential for secondary spread within the Great Lakes (Chenery et al., 2019).
