Abstract
This paper is concerned with the spreading speed of a food-limited population model with delay. First, the existence of the solution of Cauchy problem is proved. Then, the spreading speed of solutions with compactly supported initial data is investigated by using the general Harnack inequality. Finally, we present some numerical simulations and investigate the dynamical behavior of the solution.
