The pine caterpillar (Dendrolimus spectabilis Bulter, Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) is a destructive insect threatening forest communities across Eurasia. pest polyvoltine, and under global warming, more favorable temperatures can lead to additional generations. Here, we simulated the voltinism current future climatic scenarios based on thermal physiology cumulative growing degree day (CGDD) model. Subsequently, revealed change patterns of along elevational latitudinal gradients. results showed that both CGDD are increasing. ranges from 1.26 1.56 generations (1.40 ± 0.07), with an increasing trend 0.04/10a. Similar trends expected continue climate scenarios, values 0.01/10a, 0.05/10a, 0.07/10a, 0.09/10a for SSP1-2.6, SSP2-4.5, SSP3-7.0, SSP5-8.5 respectively. At elevation gradients, increases all ranges, peaking at 500–1000 m latitudes 34–34.5° N. This study highlights increase in not limited low-elevation -latitude regions but predicted various elevations latitudes. These findings enhance our understanding how affects contribute management strategies, although this assumes linear relationship between temperature voltinism, without considering other ecological factors.
