Optimal diffusion rate of species in flowing habitat

Abstract It is widely accepted that diffusive dispersal can permit persistence in an advective environment. This paper studies in some sense the optimal diffusion rate of species in a flowing habitat with hostile downstream boundary conditions. Firstly, we study the dependence of the critical length...
