"A central focus in the study of traveling wave solutions to reaction-diffusion equations is the determination of their speed, which often represents the rate of invasion of a population. In settings with rigid structure, simple formulas for the speed have been determined; however, many physical and biological systems fall outside this setting. In this talk, I will consider a model for the spread of a species in which individuals interact, creating a nonlocal drift (advection). A special case of this is the Keller-Segel-FKPP model for a reproducing population influenced by chemotaxis. We show that there is a threshold on the chemotaxis parameters (strength, length-scale) under which the nonlocal advection does *not* influence the speed and above which the nonlocal advection `pushes' the front at a faster speed.
