Abstract
We investigate the spreading behaviour for the solutions of a non-autonomous prey-predator system on a discrete lattice. These time variations are assumed to enjoy an averaging property. This includes periodicity, almost periodicity and unique ergodicity as special cases. The spatial motion of individuals from one site to another is modelled by a discrete convolution operator. In order to take into account external fluctuations such as seasonality, daily variations and so on, the convolution kernels and reaction terms may vary with time. Our analysis of the spreading speeds of invasion of the species is based on the careful and detailed study of the hair-trigger effect and spreading speed for a non-autonomous scalar Fisher-KPP equation on a lattice. Then, we are able to compare the solutions of the prey-predator system with those of a suitable scalar Fisher-KPP equation and derive the invasion speeds of the prey and of the predator.
