Inegrodifference equaions Diffusion models assume growh and dispersal occur a he same ime. When reproducion and dispersal occur a discree inervals an inegrodifference equaion is a more relevan formulaion. E.g. annual plans, Many insecs, Migraing bird species

Dispersal kernels from daa
Travelling wave speeds Assume f is linearly bounded, f()<=f (0) (o Allee effec) f is monoone K(x) has a momen generaing funcion (no fa-ailed dispersal kernels) Then we can linearly deermine he asympoic wave speed. Look a behaviour near * =0 (linearise here) K( x, y) f ( ( y)) dy f '(0) K( x, y) ( y) dy 1 1
Travelling wave speeds A ravelling wave soluion moves wih consan shape and speed c, so ( x ) 1 c
Travelling wave speeds A ravelling wave soluion moves wih consan shape and speed c, so 1( x) ( x c) Then (assume disance dependen dispersal) ( x c) f '(0) K( x y ) ( y) dy

Fa ailed kernels
Spaial exen Fa ailed kernels can give acceleraing waves, we can calculae he speed, bu we can measure he spaial exen of he wave a a given ime. Spaial exen= disance from source where populaion firs falls below a hreshold. 1 f '(0) K( x, y) ( y) dy, 0 0 Use Fourier Transforms ˆ ( w) e iwx dx, ˆ ( w) e iwx dw Hence, ˆ ( w) ( f '(0)) ( kˆ( w)) 0
