Global warming promotes biological invasion of a honey bee pest
Global Change Biology, 2019 AbstractClimate change and biological invasions are two major global environmental challenges. Both may interact, e.g. via altered impact and distribution of invasive alien species. Even though invasive species play a key role for compromising the health of honey bees, the impact of climate change on the severity of such species is still unknown.
