The stability and Hopf bifurcation of the positive steady state to a general scalar reaction–diffusion equation with distributed delay and Dirichlet boundary condition are investigated in this paper. The time delay follows a Gamma distribution function. Through analyzing the corresponding eigenvalue problems, we rigorously show that Hopf bifurcations will occur when the shape parameter n≥ 1, and the steady state is always stable when n= 0. By computing normal form on the center manifold, the direction of Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the periodic orbits can also be determined under a general setting. Our results show that the number of critical values of delay for Hopf bifurcation is finite and increasing in n, which is significantly different from the discrete delay case, and the first Hopf bifurcation value is decreasing in n. Examples from population biology and numerical simulations are used to illustrate the theoretical results.
