    The authors study the following integrodifference equation \[ u_{n+1}(x)= \int_\mathbb R k(x- y)b(u_n(y), u_{n-1}(y))\,dy,\quad n= 0,1,2,\dots.\tag{*} \] In population dynamics, (*) is describing the age-structure model, where \(u_n(x)\) is the population density at time \(n\) at position \(x\in\mathbb R\), \(b:\mathbb R^2\to\mathbb R^+\) is a continuous function formulating the reproduction of the species and \(k\) is a probability function reflecting the spatial migration of the individuals. The spreading speed and traveling wave solutions of (*) are investigated.
