Fund Project: We thank the anonymous referee for carefully reading the manuscript and suggestions that help us improve the justifications of some conditions.

In this paper we consider the existence of monotone traveling waves for a class of general integral difference model for populations that allows the dispersal probability to have no continuous density functions but the fecundity functions to generate a monotone dynamical systems. In this setting we deal with the non-compactness of the evolution operator by using the monotone iteration method.

Keywords: Traveling waves, spreading speed, partially sedentary population, delay effect.
