Abstract
We revise a diffusive spruce budworm model with spatio-temporal (or nonlocal) delay. By choosing six distinct kernels, we find the wave speed to determine the existence of traveling wave fronts for the model, that is, the model admits a traveling wave front connecting the trivial equilibrium and the positive equilibrium when . The approach is to combine the techniques of upper and lower solutions with the general theorem developed by Wang et al. (2006). The obtained results help us to understand the spreading patterns and the spreading speed of spruce budworm population.
