Methods for the estimation of temporally and spatially dependent parameters in general dispersal models are outlined and a summary of the findings using these methods with flea beetle data is given.

Abstract

We consider the problem of quantitatively modeling movements of marked flea beetles in cultivated arrays of the cole crop, collards (Brassica oleraceae). Methods for the estimation of temporally and spatially dependent parameters in general dispersal models are outlined and a summary of our findings using these methods with flea beetle data is given.
