We study the positive steady state distributions and dynamical behavior of reaction-diffusion equation with weak allele effect type growth, in which the growth rate per capita is not monotonic as in logistic type, and the habitat is assumed to be a heterogeneous bounded region. The existence of multiple steady states is shown, and the global bifurcation diagrams are obtained. Results are applied to a reaction-diffusion model with type II functional response, and also a model with density-dependent diffusion of animal aggregation.

Abstract. We consider a reaction-diffusion equation which models the constant yield harvesting to a spatially heterogeneous population which satisfies a logistic growth. We prove the existence, uniqueness and stability of the maximal steady state solutions under certain conditions, and we also classify all steady state solutions under more restricted conditions. Exact global bifurcation diagrams are obtained in the latter case. Our method is a combination of comparison arguments and bifurcation theory.
