Climate change research and action must look beyond 2100

Christopher Lyon et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic activity is altering Earth's climate and ecosystems in ways that could be dangerous and disruptive to humans. The rise in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere is projected to have lasting effects beyond 2100. This calls for a need to focus on long-term planning and policy measures to address the impacts of climate change.

Can Native Plants Mitigate Climate-related Forage Dearth for Honey Bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae)?

Ge Zhang et al.

Summary: Extreme weather events caused by climate change can negatively impact honey bees, as seen in their shift towards drought-tolerant native plants when faced with high temperatures and drought. This response may have implications for the nutritional health of honey bees, highlighting the potential of using drought-resistant native plants to enhance their resilience to climate change.

Climate Change Increases the Expansion Risk of Helicoverpa zea in China According to Potential Geographical Distribution Estimation

Haoxiang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study predicts the potential geographical distributions of Helicoverpa zea in China using a calibrated MaxEnt model and finds that China is an important distribution area for the pest under current climate conditions. Future climate changes will facilitate its expansion in the country. Customs ports need to strengthen monitoring and quarantine measures for host plants and containers harboring this pest.

Identifying drivers of change and predicting future land-use impacts in established farmlands

A. C. Wartenberg et al.

Summary: The study analyzes cropland transitions for 13 crop commodities in Kern County, California, finding that agricultural land-use transitions are highly sensitive to biophysical factors, profits, and neighborhood effects, and that potential climate change may have significant impacts on future crop choices.

Early-season plant cover supports more effective pest control than insecticide applications

Elizabeth K. Rowen et al.

Summary: Growing evidence suggests that conservation agricultural practices, such as no-till and cover crops, can help protect crops from insect pests by promoting populations of arthropod predators. However, the excessive use of insecticides by field crop producers may disrupt the benefits associated with conservation practices. This study found that planting cover crops and reducing the use of broad-spectrum insecticides were more effective in managing pests compared to interventions-based strategies.

Benefits and Risks of Intercropping for Crop Resilience and Pest Management

C. P. Huss et al.

Summary: To combat climate change, farmers must innovate through ecological intensification to boost food production, increase resilience to weather extremes, and shrink the carbon footprint of agriculture. Intercropping can strengthen and stabilize agroecosystems under climate change by improving resource use efficiency, enhancing soil water holding capacity, and increasing the diversity and quality of habitat for beneficial insects. However, perceived risks and challenges have hindered the wide adoption of intercropping.

Likelihood of Extreme Early Flight of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) Across the UK

Deborah Hemming et al.

Summary: This study established a relationship between temperature and aphid observations and used climate model simulations to quantify the likelihood of early aphid flight in the future in the UK. The results of this study can help assess the long-term viability of crops and management practices and provide early warning information for targeting pest surveillance activities.

Do Invasive and Naturalized Aphid Pest Populations Respond Differently to Climatic and Landscape Factors?

Subodh Adhikari et al.

Summary: Ongoing environmental change affects pest populations, and this study compares the responses to climatic factors among a newly invasive aphid and two closely related species. The results show that increased precipitation favors the establishment and expansion of the newly invasive aphid, while continued warming may be detrimental to its survival.

Management Implications for the Nantucket Pine Tip Moth From Temperature-Induced Shifts in Phenology and Voltinism Attributed to Climate Change

V. A. Cassidy et al.

Summary: Forest insect pest phenology and infestation pressure may shift as temperatures continue to warm due to climate change, resulting in greater challenges for sustainable forest management. The Nantucket pine tip moth is a native forest regeneration pest in the southeastern U.S. that may experience changes in generations and optimal spray dates due to temperature-induced shifts. Degree-day models can be used to adjust control tactics.

Effect of Chemical Pollution and Parasitism on Heat Tolerance in Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae)

Daniel Gonzalez-Tokman et al.

Summary: Global warming poses a threat to ecosystem services provided by insects, particularly in the tropics where insects live near their thermal limits. Insects' tolerance to high temperatures may be affected by various stressors like pollution and parasite pressure. Contrary to predictions, heat tolerance did not change with ivermectin exposure in dung beetles, but increased in immune-challenged beetles. The importance of environmental pressures interacting with global warming in threatening ecosystem services provided by wild animals is highlighted in the study.

The Impact of Climate Change on Agricultural Insect Pests

Sandra Skendzic et al.

Summary: Climate change has significant impacts on agricultural insect pests, leading to various changes such as expanded geographic distribution, increased survival during overwintering, increased number of generations, altered interaction relationships, and more. These changes pose risks to crop economic losses and human food security, necessitating adaptive management strategies to address the challenges posed by the changing climate conditions.

Parasitoid Communities in the Variable Agricultural Environments of Blueberry Production in the Southeastern United States

Jason M. Schmidt et al.

Summary: The study investigated the structure of parasitoid communities in organic and conventional blueberry systems, as well as how these communities varied within field spatial scales. Results showed that management practices and field position influenced the number and family structure of parasitoids. Parasitoids in organic systems and forested borders were more stable, while fewer families were present in the field interior of conventional systems.

Salinity Influences Plant-Pest-Predator Tritrophic Interactions

M. P. Ali et al.

Summary: The study found that increased salinity suppressed the growth of rice cultivars and reduced the population size of brown planthoppers due to decreased plant quality. Meanwhile, the highest population density of green mirid bugs occurred under control conditions and decreased significantly with increasing salinity. Overall, higher salinity negatively affected plant-herbivore-natural enemy systems and plant-pest-predator interactions, suggesting a decline in predatory insects' effectiveness in pest suppression in saline-affected rice production areas.

Managing extreme weather and climate change in UK agriculture: Impacts, attitudes and action among farmers and stakeholders

Rebecca Wheeler et al.

Summary: The study found that few UK farm businesses are taking sufficient action to increase their resilience to extreme weather and climate change, with many farmers not considering adaptation a priority due to perceived uncertainty and long-term nature of risks. Despite some positive actions being taken, there are still barriers and lack of awareness hindering improved resilience in the farming industry.

Potential Distributions of the Invasive Barnacle Scale Ceroplastes cirripediformis (Hemiptera: Coccidae) Under Climate Change and Implications for Its Management

Fang Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of climatic variables on the distribution patterns of Ceroplastes cirripediformis and produced a global risk map for its outbreak under current and future climate scenarios using the MaxEnt model. The results showed that the potential distribution of C. cirripediformis is expected to be across most zoogeographical regions globally under both current and future climate scenarios, with an expansion in the future. The study provides valuable information for predicting insect pest spread and outbreaks, and serves as an early warning for regions predicted as highly suitable habitats for this pest.
