Wavefronts for a global reaction-diffusion population model with infinite distributed delay (Q931021)

The existence of monotone wavefronts of a reaction-diffusion population model with infinite distributed delay is studied. A particular example of such an equation is the model of Nicholson's blowflies and hematopoiesis derived by Gurney, Mackey and Glass. The main focus of the article lies on a population model which allows individuals of the population to move around. By establishing comparison arguments, the authors then prove the existence of wavefronts by means of fixed point methods.
