Motivated by the recent investigation of a predator-prey model in heterogeneous environments [20], we show that the maximum of the unique positive solution of the scalar equation

$ \begin{equation} \begin{cases} \mu\Delta\theta+(m(x)-\theta)\theta = 0 \quad &\text{in} \quad \Omega,\\ \frac{\partial \theta}{\partial n} = 0 \quad &\text{on} \quad \partial\Omega \end{cases} \end{equation} $

is a strictly monotone decreasing function of the diffusion rate

$ \mu $

for several classes of function

$ m $

, which substantially improves a result in [20]. However, the minimum of the positive solution of (1) is not always monotone increasing in the diffusion rate [15].

Keywords: Reaction-diffusion, steady state, diffusion rate, monotone property.

Mathematics Subject Classification: 34D23, 92D25.
