Notes: Here we model the potential distribution of Aulacaspis yasumatsui under current and future climate scenarios in Africa, with a focus on South Africa. In South Africa, 93% of the winter rainfall areas, and 90% of the temperate, summer rainfall areas are suitable for A. yasumatsui establishment. In this study, we highlight the urgent need for regulation, management, and research on A. yasumatsui in African countries with native cycads.
