It is well-known that the law of a one-dimensional diffusion on natural scale is fully characterized by its speed measure. C. Stone proved a continuous dependence of diffusions on their speed measures. In this paper we establish the…
We consider a nonlocal Fisher-KPP equation that models a population structured in space and in phenotype. The population lives in a heterogeneous periodic environment: the diffusion coefficient, the mutation coefficient and the fitness of…

Many monostable reaction-diffusion equations admit one-dimensional travelling waves if and only if the wave speed is sufficiently high. The values of these minimum wave speeds are not known exactly, except in a few simple cases. We present…
We describe various types of traveling fronts of bistable reaction-diffusion cellular automata. These dynamical systems with discrete time, space, and state spaces can be seen as fully discrete versions of widely studied bistable…
We prove existence and uniqueness of travelling waves for a reaction-diffusion system coupling a classical reaction-diffusion equation in a strip with a diffusion equation on a line. To do this we use a continuation method which leads to…
The evolution of dispersal rate is studied with a model of several local populations linked by dispersal. Three dispersal strategies are considered where all, half, or none of the offspring disperse. The spatial scale (number of patches)…
