摘要: Abstract: Mate finding, which is essential to both population growth and gene exchange, involves spatial temporal components. From a dynamics perspective, mate‐finding problems are well studied, decreased efficiency at low densities well‐recognized mechanism for the Allee effect. Temporal aspects of mate finding have been rarely considered, but reproductive asynchrony may engender an effect in some females go mateless by virtue isolation. Here we develop explore model that unifies previously disparate theoretical considerations finding. Specifically, two‐sex reaction‐diffusion system examine interplay between dispersal individuals out patch. We also consider additional behavioral complications, including several alternative functional forms mating advective movements males actively seek out...
