We use spectral methods to prove a general stability theorem for traveling wave solutions to the systems of integrodifference equations arising in spatial population biology. We show that non-minimum-speed waves are exponentially asymptotically stable to small perturbations in appropriately weighted $L^\infty$ spaces, under assumptions which apply to examples including a Laplace or Gaussian dispersal kernel a monotone (or non-monotone) growth function behaving qualitatively like the Beverton-Holt function (or Ricker function with overcompensation), and a constant probability $p\in [0,1)$ (or $p=0$) of remaining sedentary for a single population; as well as to a system of two populations exhibiting non-cooperation (in particular, Hassell and Comins' model [6]) with $p=0$ and Laplace or Gaussian dispersal kernels which can be different for the two populations.
