چکیده

A generalization of reaction-diffusion models to multigeneration biological species is presented. It is based on more complex random walks than those in previous approaches. The new model is developed analytically up to infinite order. Our predictions for the speed agree to experimental data for several butterfly species better than existing models. The predicted dependence for the speed on the number of generations per year allows us to explain the change in speed observed for a specific invasion.

Simulated climate change conditions unveil the toxic potential of the fungicide pyrimethanil on the midge Chironomus riparius: a multigeneration experiment

Although it has been suggested that temperature increase may alter the toxic potential of environmental pollutants, few studies have investigated the potential risk of chemical stressors for wildlife under Global Climate Change (GCC) impact. We applied a bifactorial multigeneration study in order to test if GCC conditions alter the effects of low pesticide concentrations on life history and gen...

Uniqueness of monostable pulsating wave fronts for time periodic reaction-diffusion equations

Keywords: Reaction–diffusion equations Pulsating wave fronts KPP and monostable nonlinearities Uniqueness a b s t r a c t We establish the uniqueness of pulsating wave fronts for reaction–diffusion equations in time periodic media with monostable nonlinearities. For the Kolmogorov–Petrovsky– Piskunov (KPP) type nonlinearity, this result provides a complete classification of all types of KPP pul...

Dynamical Behaviors of a Delayed Reaction-diffusion Equation

In this paper, we derive a delayed reaction-diffusion equation to describe a two-species predator-prey system with diffusion terms and stage structure. By coupling the uniformly approximate approach with the method of upper and lower solutions, we prove that the traveling wave fronts exist, which connect the zero solution with the positive steady state. Finally, we draw a conclusion that the ex...

Global asymptotic stability of bistable traveling fronts in reaction-diffusion systems and their applications to biological models

This paper deals with the global asymptotic stability and uniqueness (up to translation) of bistable traveling fronts in a class of reaction-diffusion systems. The known results do not apply in solving these problems because the reaction terms do not satisfy the required monotone condition. To overcome the difficulty, a weak monotone condition is proposed for the reaction terms, which is called...

Dynamics of one- and two-dimensional kinks in bistable reaction-diffusion equations with quasidiscrete sources of reaction.

We study the evolution of fronts in a bistable reaction-diffusion system when the nonlinear reaction term is spatially inhomogeneous. This equation has been used to model wave propagation in various biological systems. Extending previous works on homogeneous reaction terms, we derive asymptotically an equation governing the front motion, which is strongly nonlinear and, for the two-dimensional ...
