In this paper, a model composed of two Lotka-Volterra patches is
considered. The system consists of two competing species $X, Y$ and
only species $Y$ can diffuse between patches. It is proved that the
system has at most two positive equilibria and then that permanence
implies global stability. Furthermore, to answer the question
whether the refuge is effective to protect $Y$, the properties of
positive equilibria and the dynamics of the system are studied when
$X$ is a much stronger competitor.
