“…One early study modeled the potential distribution of the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and found an estimated northward shift in the pest's European range of up to 1220 km with a temperature increase of 3-6°C (Porter et al, 1991). Olfert and Weiss (2006) made a similar prediction for three pest species of beetles in Canada.…”

“…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...

“…In addition to the direct consequences this phenomenon will undoubtedly have on the life-cycle of grasshoppers, it will also have indirect effects on them through the influence of climate on host plants, the interaction of grasshoppers with other insects and natural control agents (Porter et al, 1991,Vázquez, 2011. All this will alter the population dynamics, causing changes in the size and seasonality of populations, and consequently on the pest status of these insects (COPR, 1982, Estay et al, 2009, 2012.…”

This paper aims at knowing the seasonal occurrence of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acridoidea) in Uruguay. The populations of these native herbivores are generally in equilibrium, although population increases were recorded under certain conditions, causing significant economic loss. The population was monitored during five seasons on sites located in the departments of Florida and Durazno. The insects were categorized into young nymphs (I, II and III), older nymphs (IV and V), and adults. At each sampling time, data from the different sites were grouped to calculate the percentage of each category. Twenty-six species were collected, eight of which were abundant. Borellia bruneri (Rehn, 1906), B. pallida (Bruner, 1900, Dichroplus pratensis Bruner, 1900 and D. elongatus Giglio-Tos, 1894 proved to be univoltine. More than one generation of Baeacris pseudopunctulatus

El manzano (Malus sylvestris var domestica Bork) es uno de los frutales caducifolios más importantes en el mundo.Anivel nacional, Chihuahua es el principal productor de manzana con una aportación de 66%. En este cultivo se hospedan diversos fitófagos entre los que se encuentra el pulgón lanígero del manzano, y cuyo combate es con base en insecticidas. En este estudio se analizó la información generada durante los años 2010 y 2011 sobre temperatura y precipitación, ocurrencia de pulgón lanígero en ascenso por el tronco del árbol, número de colonias aéreas y se calculó el índice de impacto ambiental por la aplicación de plaguicidas en tres huertos de manzano ubicados en Cuauhtémoc, Chihuahua, con la variedad ‘Golden Delicious’sobreportainjertofrancoycondiferentemanejode plagas (f itófagos y f itopatógenos). Los resultados permitieron detectar un diferencial de 96 mm en la precipitación ocurrida entre el año 2010 y 2011, diferencias signif icativas en la tasa de acumulación de calor para estos mismos años y un diferencial significativo en la ocurrencia de pulgón lanígero entre años y huertos. En relación al coeficiente de impacto ambiental, se detectó variación entre años y huertos con valores que f luctuaron entre 16 y 436 unidades de impacto ambiental. La mayor acumulación de unidades calor y menor precipitación pluvial se relacionaron con mayor número de pulgones en ascenso y colonias aéreas, además de un mayor impacto ambiental por el uso de pesticidas en manzano.
