Abstract : In this study, an ecological model with two life stages, immature and mature, and incorporating both intra- and inter-competitions between two species is explored to study invasion of species in a two-patch environment. It can be applied to exploring evolution of insects like Drosophila and beetles, which experience larva and adult (immature and mature life stages). The monotone dynamics in such a model provides us a property to explore its local and global dynamics. The model can also admit complex dynamics with multiple positive equilibria and limit point bifurcation when both species persist.
