Abstract:
In this talk we discuss recent results when the classical Lotka-Volterra competition models are varied. We provide a number of ecological applications for these new models. We focus on finite time extinction effects as a basis for harvesting strategies. We also discuss non-consumptive or ``fear`` effects. Applications of these methods to the biological control of invasive pests is also discussed.
