Abstract

Food security depends on our ability to effectively manage crop pests (arthropods and pathogens). Because of the important effects of weather variables such as temperature and precipitation on crop pests, scientists have for some time hypothesized that where climate change results in a more (less) favourable environment for pest establishment, losses to unmanaged pests are likely to increase(decrease)1. But evidence that ranges have shifted under climate change is often anecdotal, and the availability of long-term data sets of pest occurrence is limited...
