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.
The whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, is considered one of the most important pests for tomato Solanum lycopersicum. The population density of this pest varies throughout the year in response to seasonal variation. Studies of seasonality are important to understand the ecological dynamics and insect population in crops and help to identify which seasons have the best climatic conditions for the growth and development of this insect species.

However, plant attributes such as the variety and phenological stage can influence the performance of these factors. Therefore, we investigated the performance of the natural mortality factors of Aphis gossypii (Glover; Hemiptera: Aphididae) as a function of the plant variety and phenology.
