We focus on a version of the CTRW model adapted for the description of plant invasions. Further modifications of the model for applications to animal invasions or more complex situations are straightforward. Although these models are rather complex at first sight, the results and expressions in most cases are simple and have a clear ecological meaning. This makes the models attractive tools for management purposes. One of our main results consists of a threshold condition to predict if a species will show invasive behavior or not in terms of their specific life cycle. This...
