The dual crisis: Climate change simultaneously drives pollinator decline and pest outbreaks
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Climate change acts as an asymmetric ecological filter, favouring r‐selected pest traits (rapid reproduction, generalism) while disadvantaging K‐selected pollinators. For every 1°C of warming, bee species richness declines ~25% since the 1990s, while pest‐induced crop losses increase by 10%–25%. A network‐centric approach integrating climate‐responsive
