  • economic importance
  • radiation
  • Notes: This study used MaxEnt to determine the potential distribution of P. ficus under current climate conditions, and under projected global climate change using three different climate change scenarios and two representative concentration pathways. The results showed that under current climatic conditions, the Mediterranean coast, South America, South Africa, Southern Australia, and North America are the primary potentially suitable areas and that the highly suitable ranges are mainly concentrated in these areas. Additionally, some areas need to strengthen quarantine measures especially where the pest has not been reported, such as Australia, New Zealand and East Asia.
