This paper is a continuation of Berestycki et al (2013 J. Math. Biol. 66 743-66) where a new model of biological invasions in the plane directed by a line was introduced. Here we include new features such as transport and reaction terms on the line. Their interaction with the pure diffusivity in the plane is quantified in terms of enhancement of the propagation speed. We establish conditions that determine whether the spreading speed exceeds the standard Fisher-KPP invasion speed. These conditions involve the ratio of the diffusivities on the line and in the field, the transport term and the reactions. We derive the asymptotic behaviour for large diffusions or large transports. We also discuss the biological interpretation of these findings.

Abstract
This paper is a continuation of Berestycki et al (2013 J. Math. Biol. 66 743-66) where a new model of biological invasions in the plane directed by a line was introduced. Here we include new features such as transport and reaction terms on the line. Their interaction with the pure diffusivity in the plane is quantified in terms of enhancement of the propagation speed. We establish conditions that determine whether the spreading speed exceeds the standard Fisher-KPP invasion speed. These conditions involve the ratio of the diffusivities on the line and in the field, the transport term and the reactions. We derive the asymptotic behaviour for large diffusions or large transports. We also discuss the biological interpretation of these findings.Pubblicazioni consigliate
