Anthropogenic challenges, particularly climate change-associated factors, are strongly impacting the behavior, distribution, and survival of insects. Yet how these changes affect pests such as Drosophila suzukii, a cosmopolitan pest soft-skinned small fruits, remains poorly understood. This polyphagous is chill-susceptible, with cold temperatures causing multiple stresses, including desiccation starvation, also challenging immune system. Since invasion Europe United States America in 2009, it has been rapidly spreading to several European American countries (both North South American) African Asian countries. However, globalization global warming allowing an altitudinal latitudinal expansion species, thus colonization colder regions. review explores D. suzukii adapts survive during seasons. We focus on overwintering strategies behavioral adaptations migration or sheltering, seasonal polyphenism, reproductive adaptations, well metabolic transcriptomic response cold. Finally, we discuss continuation change may promote ability this species spread, what mitigation measures could be employed overcome cold-adapted suzukii.

Abstract Climate change is expected to alter pressure from insect pests and the effectiveness of pollinators across diverse agricultural systems globally. In response warming, insects are undergoing or projected undergo shifts in their geographic ranges, voltinism, abundance, phenology. Effects on focal species can be affected directly indirectly, through interactions with other at higher lower trophic levels. These climate‐driven effects complex as a result variable, sometimes increasing pest reducing pollination opposite depending climatic baseline conditions interplay contributing drivers. This uncertainty prevents effective responses. Furthermore, addition climate pollinators, ongoing incentivizing changes cropping such altered tillage diversification intensification potential great itself. Preparing for this must included framework “Climate‐smart Integrated Pest Pollinator Management,” component production under change.

Abstract Animal size, a trait sensitive to spatial and temporal variables, is key element in ecological evolutionary dynamics. In the context of climate change, there evidence that some bat species are increasing their body size via phenotypic responses higher temperatures at maternity roosts. To test generality this response, we conducted >20‐year study examining changes 15 Italy, analysing data from 4393 individual bats captured since 1995. addition effect, considered potential influence sexual dimorphism and, where relevant, included latitude altitude as drivers change.

This paper examines the critical role of technological innovations in mitigating climate change risks within agricultural sector, using Cargill as a case study. Climate poses considerable threats to agriculture, including unpredictable weather patterns, increased severity extreme events, and disruptions food production. However, advanced solutions such artificial intelligence, drone technology, precision agriculture offer promising ways address these challenges. essay demonstrates how has successfully incorporated technologies reduce climate-related enhance operational resilience. In addition, provides recommendations for policymakers, large corporations, small-scale farmers on leveraging effectively. These interventions are adaptable various farming systems, regardless whether focus is livestock or crop By embracing cutting-edge technologies, all sizes can safeguard their operations from adverse effects change, ensuring more sustainable resilient practices long term.

Abstract This study addresses the need to improve agricultural productivity and enhance resilience of small-holder farmers in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) through irrigation. Using Amhara Tigray regions Ethiopia as a case study, we investigate factors that impact farmers’ use irrigation two distinct analytical approaches: survey-based approach leverages Ethiopia’s 2018/2019 Socioeconomic Survey, remote sensing-based integrates multiple sensing products. While previous research has relied primarily on surveys understand technology adoption agriculture, demonstrate how nighttime light imagery for electrification detection multispectral mapping can complement survey data. We examine infrastructure (electricity access, road accessibility), environmental variables influence costs efficiency (soil salinity, slope, groundwater depth, topographic wetness index, proximity surface water), farming practices (crop type, fertilizer use). Despite common assumption development will drive adoption, found access electricity all-weather roads are not strongly associated with decisions these regions. identified cropland area about 97 760 ha 28 830 is electrified but does purposes. Instead, emerged significant determinants, favorable physical conditions (proximity water, gentle slopes, shallow groundwater) showing positive associations use. Additionally, cultivation permanent crops application fertilizers be positively By validating results against data, potential cost-effective technique understanding data-scarce conclude by presenting strategies facilitate SSA.

The Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) invaded sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in 2016 and has since become prevalent many countries, causing significant maize grain yield losses reduced quality. Breeding for host plant resistance to FAW requires improving multiple traits, complicating selection. This study evaluated the use of principal component (PC)-based multi-trait selection indices identify resistant genotypes. A total 192 hybrids alongside four commercial hybrids, were over seasons under artificial infestation. Data on leaf feeding damage (LD) at 7, 14, 21 days after infestation, ear (ED), rot (ER), (GY) recorded. data subjected analysis variance PC analysis, results used construct two economic weight-free indices: PC1-based index (PC1BI) PC2-based (PC2BI). Broad-sense heritability estimates 0.59 0.73 LD, 0.69 GY. PCs explained 97.1% variation among hybrids. PC1BI, with higher loadings showed larger desired gains these traits (−2.92 −3.84%) GY (19.9%), making it a superior PC2BI. PC1BI identified six promising above cutoff 7.0 t ha -1 PC2BI exhibited ED (−11.1%) ER (−45.4%). index-based selected consistently outperformed hybrid checks. PC-based have potential serve as valuable tools breeders maximize gains; however, modifications are necessary incorporate other desirable agronomic adaptive traits.
