Climate change effect on the widely distributed Palearctic plant bug species (Insecta: Heteroptera: Miridae) [PDF]

PeerJ
Insects are poikilothermic organisms and temperature increase usually accelerates their development rates, population and distribution area growth. Therefore, it is assumed that global warming can be beneficial for the pests and other widespread species ...
