In this paper, we derive a lattice model for a single species in a one-dimensional patchy environment with infinite number of patches connected locally by diffusion. Under the assumption that the death and diffusion rates of the mature population are age independent, we show that the dynamics of the mature population is governed by a lattice delay differential equation with global interactions. We study the well-posedness of the initial-value problem and obtain the existence of monotone travelling waves for wave speeds c > c * . We show that the minimal wave speed c * is also the asymptotic speed of propagation, which depends on the maturation period and the diffusion rate of mature population monotonically.
