Resumen:
We investigate the spatially extended Hastings-Powell model in one and two dimensions with constant diffusion coefficients and nonflux boundary conditions. Nowave zones, spirals and chaos are found. An absolute instability of the spirals produces a transition to chaos. A constant number of defects, linearly increasing with the bifurcation parameter of the system is found, i.e. there do not exist defect-creation or defect-destruction events. Defects behave as hard disks, with translational degrees of freedom, which result from a cooperative interaction between pairs of defects.
