Abstract
Two-patch models are used to mimic the unidirectional movement of organisms in continuous, advective environments. We assume that species can move between two patches, with patch 1 as the upper stream patch and patch 2 as the downstream patch. Species disperse between two patches with the same rate, and species in patch 1 is transported to patch 2 by drift, but not vice versa. We also mimic no-flux boundary conditions at the upstream and zero Dirichlet boundary conditions at the downstream. The criteria for the persistence of a single species is established. For two competing species model, we show that there is an intermediate dispersal rate which is evolutionarily stable. These results support the conjecture in [ 6 ], initially proposed for reaction-diffusion models with continuous advective environments.
