Abstract: We consider a multidimensional monostable reaction-diffusion equation whose nonlinearity involves periodic heterogeneity. This serves as a model of invasion for a population facing spatial heterogeneities. As a rescaling parameter tends to zero, we prove the convergence to a limit interface, whose motion is governed by the minimal speed (in each direction) of the underlying pulsating fronts. This dependance of the speed on the (moving) normal direction is in contrast with the homogeneous case and makes the analysis quite involved. Key ingredients are the recent improvement cite{A-Gil} of the well-known spreading properties cite{Wein02}, cite{Ber-Ham-02}, and the solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi equation.
