Invasive species pose significant threats to ecosystems by reducing biodiversity, introducing new diseases, and competing with native for resources. Bidens pilosa L., a globally invasive weed originating in tropical America, severely impacts agricultural productivity infesting 31 economically vital crops across over 40 countries. This study examined the global distribution of under current future climate scenarios. Using models occurrence data, we identified key factors influencing its spread, including temperature, precipitation, human influence. Our findings suggest likely decline suitable habitats regions an expansion into temperate regions, suitability decreasing higher temperatures. Additionally, historical reconstructions emphasize that rapid spread was facilitated maritime trade routes. Management strategies are proposed need enhanced control measures high-risk areas conservation efforts range America. Overall, this research contributes understanding dynamics B. informs proactive management mitigate ecological economic impacts.
