Lagrangian atmospheric models were used in conjunction with ecophysiological factors to reconstruct the path and meteorological conditions of a long‐range migration flight of spruce budworm moths to Newfoundland, Canada. Moths travelled under high winds and warm temperatures that favoured their migratory flight until encountering cooler temperatures ...

Potential climate warming effects on the distribution of an invasive alien pest species
Drosophila suzukii (SWD) has low resistance to heat waves. The incidence of SWD differed between Illyric‐ and Pannonian climate zone. Desert days (frequency) only increased in the Pannonian zone. Abstract Climate warming can be a powerful driver for the establishment and further spread of alien species by lowering the abiotic resistance of native ...

This study develops a quantitative framework that integrates field data, epidemiological models, simulations, and Bayesian inference to identify key viral hosts in multispecies bee communities. By estimating species‐specific R0 values from flower‐visitor networks and viral screening, we show that honeybees, as well as other wild bees, can drive the ...
