The impacts of diffusion on the dynamical behaviors are investigated and it is found that although the appearance of diffusion does not affect the stability of constant steady states, it can lead to the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation of spatially inhomogeneous periodic solutions at the constant positive steady state. The conclusions show that the occurrence of spatial diffusion can induce more complex dynamical behaviors.展开更多
