Abstract:
      In this paper, we investigate the population dynamics of a two-species Lotka-Volterra competition system arising in river ecology. An interesting feature of this modeling system lies in the boundary conditions at the downstream end, where the populations may be exposed to differing magnitudes of loss of individuals. By applying the theory of principal eigenvalue and monotone dynamical systems, we obtain a complete understanding on the global dynamics, which suggests that slower dispersal is selected for. Our results can be seen as a further development of a recent work by Tang and Chen (J. Differential Equations, 2020, 2020(269), 1465--1483).
