“…Given the high quality of its wood, this species has been overexploited, and threats to this species are exacerbated by its vulnerability to pest [13]. Therefore, the distribution of this species is fragmented in small, scattered populations, and is affected by a shrinking gene pool [14].…”

Swietenia macrophylla is an economically important tree species propagated by seeds that lose their viability in a short time, making seed germination a key stage for the species recruitment. The objective of this study was to determine the cardinal temperatures and thermal time for seed germination of S. macrophylla; and its potential distribution under different climate change scenarios. Seeds were placed in germination chambers at constant temperatures from 5 to 45 °C and their thermal responses modelled using a thermal time approach. In addition, the potential biogeographic distribution was projected according to the Community Climate System Model version 4 (CCSM4). Germination rate reached its maximum at 37.3 ± 1.3 °C (To); seed germination decreased to near zero at 52.7 ± 2.2 °C (ceiling temperature, Tc) and at 12.8 ± 2.4 °C (base temperature, Tb). The suboptimal thermal time θ150 needed for 50% germination was ca. 190 °Cd, which in the current scenario is accumulated in 20 days. The CCSM4 model estimates an increase of the potential distribution of the species of 12.3 to 18.3% compared to the current scenario. The temperature had an important effect on the physiological processes of the seeds. With the increase in temperature, the thermal needs for germination are completed in less time, so the species will not be affected in its distribution. Although the distribution of the species may not be affected, it is crucial to generate sustainable management strategies to ensure its long-term conservation.

“…The genus Hypsipyla (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is found throughout the tropics, and its larvae, which are specialized borers of trees in the family Meliaceae, may damage twigs, branches, leaves, bark, flowers, fruits, and seeds (Taveras et al 2004;Cunningham et al 2005;Castro et al 2016). The mahogany shoot borer, Hypsipyla grandella Zeller, is found throughout Central and South America, except in Chile (Perez et al 2010a).…”

“…Damage caused by this pest on trees of the subfamily Swietenoideae (Meliaceae), such as mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla G. King) and cedar (Cedrela spp. ), is so intense and severe that they can make commercial plantations of these species unfeasible (Pérez-Salicrup & Esquivel 2008;Jesus-Barros et al 2015;Castro et al 2016).…”

“…The mahogany shoot borer damages native Meliaceae fruits and seeds in Brazil (Pinto et al 2013;Castro et al 2017). These reproductive structures are a good source of protein and minerals for insect nutrition (Pinto et al 2013), and are used to culture H. grandella in the laboratory (Barradas-Juanz et al 2016a;Castro et al 2016). Damage to reproductive structures may compromise natural forest regeneration (Jesus-Barros et al 2015), and reduce available material for seedling production (Pinto et al 2013).…”

“…injured by Hypsipyla ferrealis Hampson (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and H. grandella, and of C. fissilis by H. grandella (Pinto et al 2013;Castro et al 2018). A diet based on S. macrophylla seeds may contain the essential nutrients for development of this insect (Castro et al 2016). Adults of H. grandella from larvae feeding on seeds of K. ivorensis developed regularly, but H. grandella larvae, when reared on leaves of Khaya senegalensis (Desv.)…”
