On the evolution of slow dispersal in multispecies communities. (English) Zbl 1479.35875
Summary: For any \(N \geq 2\), we show that there are choices of diffusion rates \(\{d_i\}_{i=1}^N\) such that for \(N\) competing species which are ecologically identical and have distinct diffusion rates, the slowest disperser is able to competitively exclude the remainder of the species. In fact, the choices of such diffusion rates are open in the Hausdorff topology. Our result provides some evidence in the affirmative direction regarding the conjecture by Dockery et al. in 1998. The main tools include Morse decomposition of the semiflow and the theory of normalized Floquet principal bundle for linear parabolic equations. A critical step in the proof is to establish the smooth dependence of the Floquet bundle on diffusion rate and other coefficients, which may be of independent interest.
