Abstract

Abstract: We consider a diffusive Lotka–Volterra competition system with stage structure, where the intrinsic growth rates and the carrying capacities of the species are assumed spatially heterogeneous. Here, we also assume each of the competing populations chooses its dispersal strategy as the tendency to have a distribution proportional to a certain positive prescribed function. We give the effects of dispersal strategy, delay, the intrinsic growth rates and the competition parameters on the global dynamics of the delayed reaction diffusion model. Our result shows that competitive exclusion occurs when one of the diffusion strategies is proportional to the carrying capacity, while the other is not; while both populations can coexist if the competition favors the latter species. Finally, we point out that the method is also applied to the global dynamics of other kinds of delayed competition models.
