“…Olfert and Weiss (2006) made a similar prediction for three pest species of beetles in Canada. In a more regionally based analysis, Gutierrez et al (2006) examined the distribution and abundance of pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella) in cotton in Arizona and California.…”

“…Climate change may influence crop pest populations by reducing generation times and over-wintering mortality, increasing the number of generations and population growth rates, and altering crop-pest synchrony (Cannon, 1998;Olfert and Weiss, 2006;Patterson et al, 1999;Porter et al, 1991). Studies show that the main drivers of pest distribution and abundance are temperature, rainfall, and CO 2 , all of which are being altered with climate change (Gutierrez et al, 2006;Porter et al, 1991;Rafoss and Saethre, 2003).…”

Climate change induced by anthropogenic warming of the earth's atmosphere is a daunting problem. This review examines one of the consequences of climate change that has only recently attracted attention: namely, the effects of climate change on the environmental distribution and toxicity of chemical pollutants. A review was undertaken of the scientific literature (original research articles, reviews, government and intergovernmental reports) focusing on the interactions of toxicants with the environmental parameters, temperature, precipitation, and salinity, as altered by climate change. Three broad classes of chemical toxicants of global significance were the focus: air pollutants, persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including some organochlorine pesticides, and other classes of pesticides. Generally, increases in temperature will enhance the toxicity of contaminants and increase concentrations of tropospheric ozone regionally, but will also likely increase rates of chemical degradation. While further research is needed, climate change coupled with air pollutant exposures may have potentially serious adverse consequences for human health in urban and polluted regions. Climate change producing alterations in: food webs, lipid dynamics, ice and snow melt, and organic carbon cycling could result in increased POP levels in water, soil, and biota. There is also compelling evidence that increasing temperatures could be deleterious to pollutant-exposed wildlife. For example, elevated water temperatures may alter the biotransformation of contaminants to more bioactive metabolites and impair homeostasis. The complex interactions between climate change and pollutants may be particularly problematic for species living at the edge of their physiological tolerance range where acclimation capacity may be limited. In addition to temperature increases, regional precipitation patterns are projected to be altered with climate change. Regions subject to decreases in precipitation may experience enhanced volatilization of POPs and pesticides to the atmosphere. Reduced precipitation will also increase air pollution in urbanized regions resulting in negative health effects, which may be exacerbated by temperature increases. Regions subject to increased precipitation will have lower levels of air pollution, but will likely experience enhanced surface deposition of airborne POPs and increased run-off of pesticides. Moreover, increases in the intensity and frequency of storm events linked to climate change could lead to more severe episodes of chemical contamination of water bodies and surrounding watersheds. Changes in salinity may affect aquatic organisms as an independent stressor as well as by altering the bioavailability and in some instances increasing the toxicity of chemicals. A paramount issue will be to identify species and populations especially vulnerable to climate-pollutant interactions, in the context of the many other physical, chemical, and biological stressors that will be altered with climate change. Moreover, it w...

“…It is assumed that insect herbivores will respond faster to climate change, and given the host plants that are available in new areas of the pest potential occurrence, some species may extend their distributional ranges rapidly (Rouault et al 2006). This issue has become of key importance in assessing climate change impacts on forestry, agriculture and other sectors (MacLeod et al 2002;Olfert, Weiss 2006;Baier et al 2007;Trnka et al 2007). The increased air temperature can influence pest populations mainly by (i) prolonged vegetation season and availability of host plants, (ii) accelerated development of a single generation in multivoltine species, (iii) lower mortality rate during winter, and (iv) overall change in the pest development (Porter et al 1991).…”

Climate change is expected to influence the distribution and population dynamics of many insect pests, with potential severe impacts on forests. Spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (L.) (Col.: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) is the most important forest insect pest in Europe whose development is strictly regulated by air temperature. Therefore, climate change is anticipated to induce changes in the pest's distribution and development. We used the PHENIPS model to evaluate climate change impacts on the distribution and voltinism of spruce bark beetle in the Czech Republic. Two future time periods -2025-2050 (near future) and 2075-2100 (distant future) -are addressed. The period 1961-1990 is used as the reference. We found that while a two-generation regime dominated in the Czech Republic in the reference period, significant three-generation regime regions are projected to appear in the near future. In the distant future, the three-generation regime can be expected to occur over all existing coniferous stands in the Czech Republic. The analysis of altitudinal shift of n-generation regime regions indicates noticeable expansion of Ips typographus development to higher elevations, leading for example to disappearance of one-generation regime regions in the distant future. Uncertainties and limitations of the presented findings are discussed as well.

“…Mechanisms by which climate conditions affect the development of a species can also be analysed with the CLIMEX software tool. CLIMEX is a world renowned software that has recently been applied in various scientific studies considering the potential distribution and spread of animal or plant species (Sutherst, 2000a, b;Bell & Willoughby, 2003;Kriticos et al, 2003;Lockett & Palmer, 2003;Pethybridge et al, 2003;Rafoss & Saethre, 2003;Zalucki & Furlong, 2005;Olfert & Weiss, 2006, among many others).…”
