The influence of climate change on forest insect pests in Britain
Predicting future risks of damage by insect pests is an important aspect of forest management. Climate change has the potential to affect forest pests and their impact on trees through higher temperatures, altered precipitation patterns, and more frequent extreme weather events. Warmer temperatures are likely to have complex effects on insects, influencing, among other things, development rate ...
متن کاملVisuomotor Control: Not So Simple Insect Locomotion
Observations of locusts walking on a horizontal ladder demonstrate that front leg movements are targeted by visual and antennal cues, suggesting sophisticated motor control mechanisms for these seemingly simple animals.
متن کاملWhat Can Plasticity Contribute to Insect Responses to Climate Change?
Plastic responses figure prominently in discussions on insect adaptation to climate change. Here we review the different types of plastic responses and whether they contribute much to adaptation. Under climate change, plastic responses involving diapause are often critical for population persistence, but key diapause responses under dry and hot conditions remain poorly understood. Climate varia...
متن کاملComplex responses of insect phenology to climate change.
Insect phenologies are changing in response to climate warming. Shifts toward earlier seasonal activity are widespread; however, responses of insect phenology to warming are often more complex. Many species have prolonged their activity periods; others have shown delays. Furthermore, because of interspecific differences in temperature sensitivity, warming can increase or decrease synchronizatio...
متن کاملResponses of dead forest fuel moisture to climate change
Ecohydrol. 2016; 1–10 wileyonlinelibrary.com/jou Abstract Forest fuel moisture is an important factor for wildland fire behavior. Predicting future wildfire trends and controlled burned conditions is essential to effective natural resource management, but the associated effects of forest fuel moisture remain uncertain. This study investigates the responses of dead forest fuel moisture to climat...
