Title: Transient effects of stochastic multi-population models.

Authors: Thomas C. Gard (The Univ. of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA) 
 
Abstract: 
  We give some estimates for exit probabilities through specific
  portions of the boundary of bounded subsets of the feasible region for
  solutions of stochastic population interaction models. These exit
  probability estimates can indicate initial tendencies for survival or
  extinction for the modeled populations. When the subset boundaries are
  given by level curves of multiple Liapunov type functions, the estimates
  are more tractable.
