review text: The long time behaviour of a discretized evolution equation is studied. The equation, which involves diffusion and a nonlinear, delayed, reaction term, has been proposed as a model in population dynamics. It contains, as special cases, logistic-style problems that have been used before to provide canonical examples of spurious behaviour. The existence and stability of the basic steady states are systematically studied as functions of the grid spacings and problem parameters. Particular attention is paid to the effect of the delay on the long-time behaviour. As observed elsewhere, increasing the time step beyond the linear stability limit may induce stable spurious steady states. When a delay is present, spurious solutions are also found to exist within the linear stability limit and this affects the dynamics. Potential symmetry in the problem is identified. It is shown that in certain circumstances the bifurcation patterns depend dramatically upon whether the initial data shares the symmetry.
