For reaction-diffusion equations with delay, the joint effects of
diffusion and delay are studied. In particular, for
two-dimensional systems where only the interaction between species
is delayed, the interdependence of stability against delay and
against diffusion (Turing instability) can be clearly exhibited.
Turing instabilities occur largely independent of delay. But
periodic oscillations, constant in space or with low spatial
frequency, can be achieved via increasing the delay or changing
the diffusion rates.
