Average rates of long-distance dispersal are at least two orders of magnitude greater than estimates of local dispersal with a maximum of 167 km/yr. At the scale of single habitats, simple reaction-diffusion models may be accurate enough to predict the spread of new invaders without recourse to complex life-history parameterisation. At regional scales, invasive species rarely move across the landscape as a continuous front and both local and long-distance dispersal determine spatial patterns. This review highlights that monitoring of invasive species must be approached from a hierarchical perspective with data gathered at more than one spatial scale.
