Climate Change Shapes Suitable Habitat and Ecological Niche Overlap Between Hyphantria cunea and Its Parasitoid Chouioia cunea in China

Key Points

The aim is to understand how climate change impacts habitat suitability and ecological niche overlap between Hyphantria cunea and Chouioia cunea.
Spatial analyses of habitat suitability under climate change scenarios
Assessment of ecological niche overlap between species
Evaluation of potential mismatches in host-parasitoid interactions
Climate change alters suitable habitats for Hyphantria cunea and Chouioia cunea by 2050.
Identified areas for effective biocontrol releases under changing climate conditions.
Highlighting the need for enhanced monitoring of host-parasitoid interactions due to mismatches.

Abstract

by the 2050s. These results provided a spatial basis for anticipating where biocontrol releases may be most effective and where potential host-parasitoid mismatches could require strengthened monitoring under climate change.
