Abstract
In this paper, traveling wavefront solutions are established for two cooperative systems with time delay and non-local effects. The results are an extension of the existing results for delayed logistic scale equations and diffusive Nicholson equations with non-local effects to systems. The approach used is the upper-lower solution technique and Schauder fixed point Theorem developed by Ma (J Differential Equations, 2001, 171:294–314).
