Keywords:

  • climate change
  • dispersal
  • distribution
  • economic importance
  • host
  • Notes: In this study, we used a MaxEnt model to forecast the potential global distribution of P. jackbeardsleyi under current and future climate scenarios based on environmental data and occurrence records. This was done to, identify the change trends in the habitat ranges considered suitable for this pest, and will provide a theoretical reference framework for policy-making to prevent, monitor and control the spread of P. jackbeardsleyi.
