Abstract Climate warming is considered to be among the most serious of anthropogenic stresses environment, because it not only has direct effects on biodiversity, but also exacerbates harmful other human‐mediated threats. The associated consequences are potentially severe, particularly in terms threats species preservation, as well preservation an array ecosystem services provided by biodiversity. Among affected groups animals insects—central components many ecosystems—for which climate change pervasive from individuals communities. In this contribution scientists' warning series, we summarize effect gradual global surface temperature increase insects, physiology, behavior, phenology, distribution, and interactions, increased frequency duration extreme events such hot cold spells, fires, droughts, floods these parameters. We warn that, if no action taken better understand reduce will drastically our ability build a sustainable future based healthy, functional ecosystems. discuss perspectives relevant ways conserve insects face change, offer several key recommendations management approaches that can adopted, policies should pursued, involvement general public protection effort.

Climate warming promotes pesticide resistance through expanding overwintering range of a global pest

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 9, 2021

Abstract Climate change has the potential to distribution of pests globally and their resistance pesticides, thereby threatening global food security in 21st century. However, predicting where these changes occur how they will influence current pest control efforts is a challenge. Using experimentally parameterised field-tested models, we show that climate over past 50 years increased overwintering range agricultural insect pest, diamondback moth ( Plutella xylostella ), by ~2.4 million km 2 worldwide. Our analysis data sets revealed pesticide levels are linked species’ range: mean was 158 times higher sites compared with only seasonal occurrence. By facilitating local persistence all year round, can promote expand this destructive species globally. These ecological evolutionary would severely impede effectiveness potentially cause large economic losses.

The impact of climate change on insect pest biology and ecology: Implications for pest management strategies, crop production, and food security

Journal of Agriculture and Food Research, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14, С. 100733 - 100733

The explosive expansion of the global population and technological progress has greatly influenced agriculture food production. However, this is threatened by climate change, which unleashes a slew issues like carbon dioxide (CO2) increases, frequent droughts, temperature shifts that present substantial obstacle to crop yields security. ramifications these climatic factors on insect pest biology ecology are profound, given pests depend heavily factors. Since productivity tightly connected both variables, changes in can significantly impact yields. Therefore, it imperative comprehend change manage them effectively ensure sufficient This review examines effect explores potential use modern monitoring technologies prediction tools devise effective management strategies improve production

Meta-analysis reveals weak but pervasive plasticity in insect thermal limits

Nature Communications, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Сен. 8, 2022

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change. Such threaten insects, including pollinators, pests disease vectors. Insect critical thermal limits can be enhanced through acclimation, yet evidence that plasticity aids survival at extreme temperatures is limited. Here, using meta-analyses across 1374 effect sizes, 74 studies 102 species, we show limit pervasive but generally weak: per 1 °C rise acclimation temperature, maximum increases by 0.09 °C; decline, minimum decreases 0.15 °C. Moreover, small significant publication bias suggests the magnitude of marginally overestimated. We find juvenile insects more plastic than adults, highlighting physiological responses vary ontogeny. Overall, likely limited benefit during climatic events, need under-represented taxa geographic regions.

Understanding the intricate interplay between plant and soil microbiomes their effects on growth productivity is vital in a rapidly changing climate. This review explores interconnected impacts of climate change plant-soil profound agricultural productivity. The ongoing rise global temperatures, shifting precipitation patterns extreme weather events significantly affect composition function microbial communities rhizosphere. Changes diversity activity due to rising temperatures impact nutrient cycling, enzyme synthesis, health pest disease management. These changes also influence dynamics microbe capability promote health. As changes, plants' adaptive capacity partners become increasingly crucial for sustaining agriculture. Mitigating adverse requires comprehensive understanding mechanisms driving these processes. It highlights various strategies mitigating adapting environmental challenges, including management, stress-tolerant crops, cover cropping, sustainable land water crop rotation, organic amendments development climate-resilient varieties. emphasises need further exploration within broader context change.

How will mosquitoes adapt to climate warming?

Опубликована: Авг. 17, 2021

The potential for adaptive evolution to enable species persistence under a changing climate is one of the most important questions understanding impacts future change. Climate adaptation may be particularly likely short-lived ectotherms, including many pest, pathogen, and vector species. For these taxa, estimating critical accurate predictive modeling public health preparedness. Here, we demonstrate how simple theoretical framework used in conservation biology-evolutionary rescue models-can investigate using mosquito thermal as focal case. Synthesizing current evidence, find that short generation times, high population growth rates, strong temperature-imposed selection favor adaptation. However, knowledge gaps about extent phenotypic genotypic variation tolerance within populations, environmental sensitivity selection, role plasticity constrain our ability make more precise estimates. We describe common garden experiments can fill data gaps.
