Abstract

We consider a single-species structured population with distributed maturity and spatial diffusion in a cylindrical domain subject to Neumann and Robin boundary conditions. We first establish the threshold property of the reaction–diffusion system with distributed delay and non-local interaction in a corresponding lower-dimensional domain, so that the system approaches either an extinction state or a stable spatially varying pattern. We then investigate the transition from the extinction state to the stable pattern of the system in the cylindrical domain.
