Article Synopsis
  • Paropsisterna bimaculata is a harmful pest for eucalyptus trees, leading to significant defoliation and even tree death in Tasmanian plantations, impacting wood production.
  • The study focused on creating an ecoclimatic index model using CLIMEX software to predict where this pest might spread globally, identifying high-risk areas for eucalyptus crops.
  • Results indicated that regions with temperate climates across Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, and America are especially vulnerable, with a notable risk present in Brazil's southern and southeastern areas, guiding prevention strategies.
