Abstract: | The discrete-time recursion system $\u_{n+1}=Q\u_n]$ with $\u_n(x)$ a vector of population distributions of species and
$Q$ an operator which models the growth, interaction, and migration of the species is considered. Previously known results
are extended so that one can treat the local invasion of an equilibrium of cooperating species by a new species or mutant.
It is found that, in general, the resulting change in the equilibrium density of each species spreads at its own asymptotic
speed, with the speed of the invader the slowest of the speeds. Conditions on $Q$ are given which insure that all species
spread at the same asymptotic speed, and that this speed agrees with the more easily calculated speed of a linearized problem
for the invader alone. If this is true we say that the recursion has a single speed and is linearly determinate. The conditions
are such that they can be verified for a class of reaction-diffusion models.
