摘要: Climate change may be affecting the fecundity of phytophagous insects as well impacting their natural enemies. However, temperature impacts these two insect groups differently, disrupting population regulation mechanisms, and ultimately, possibly culminating in an outbreak host. The pine processionary moth (PPM) is one most harmful Mediterranean basin. Not only are PPM larvae to plants, but they also dangerous humans because urticating hairs. Although some information available on climate effects PPM, little known about its potential egg parasitoids, especially distribution range or role controlling populations. aim this article was verify parasitoids. Our results show that warming affect positively, not Specifically, during our study mild winters directly favored while increasing summer temperatures (over 30°C) indirectly, by decreasing parasitism rates. We predict ever-milder will favor development, encourage it spread otherwise previously inhospitable environments.
