Sutherst, R.W. | Maywald, G.F. (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Indooroopilly (Australia). Div. of Entomology)
A worked example is presented, using the CLIMEX model on the Queensland fruit fly, Bactrocera tryoni. The potential for its population growth in Australia is described, together with limiting climatic factors. Projections are made on the likelihood of permanent establishment of an accidental infestation in Los Angeles. The area of north America that would be put at consequent risk is then estimated.
