摘要
A model of species migration is presented which takes the form of a reaction-diffusion system. We consider special limits of this model in which we demonstrate the existence of travelling wave solutions. These solutions can be used to describe the migration of cells, bacteria, and some organisms. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
