Mark Lewis uses mathematical and computer models to understand the dynamics of aquatic invaders. 
"The network provides unprecedented opportunity for close collaboration between modelers and field ecologists. The result is an accurate understanding of invasion dynamics, based on quantitative models closely linked to large datasets." - Mark Lewis
