This study introduces a new non-local dispersal model, comparing spread and rate parameters in heterogeneous environments. Slower diffusion is optimal for fixed spread, but optimal spread depends on dispersal rate and cost.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical modeling
  • Ecology
  • Population dynamics

Background:

  • Non-local dispersal models are crucial for understanding species movement in continuous space and time.
  • Existing models often lack detailed analysis of dispersal kernel width and rate parameters.
  • Investigating dispersal strategies in spatially heterogeneous environments is essential for ecological theory.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and justify a non-local model for continuous-time and space dispersal.
  • To introduce and analyze a 'spread' parameter alongside a conventional rate parameter.
  • To compare the advantages and disadvantages of these parameters in heterogeneous environments.

Main Methods:

  • Mathematical formulation of a non-local dispersal model.

  • Analysis of model behavior with varying spread and rate parameters.
  • Comparison with reaction-diffusion models.

    • Main Results:

    • For a fixed spread, slower diffusion rates are consistently optimal, mirroring reaction-diffusion models.
    • When dispersal rate is fixed and dispersal cost is constant, optimal spread exhibits complex behavior.
    • In general settings, smaller spread is favored for small values, while larger spread is favored for large values.

    Conclusions:

    • The interplay between dispersal spread and rate is complex and context-dependent.
    • The introduced 'spread' parameter offers new insights into dispersal evolution.
    • Optimal dispersal strategies are contingent on environmental heterogeneity and cost-benefit trade-offs.
