Article Synopsis
  • The apple jewel beetle (AJB) is a severe pest threatening apple orchards and wild apple forests in China, particularly in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
  • Global warming is expected to expand the geographical range of the AJB, with forecasts showing suitable regions in China could increase by 1.11-1.34 times by the 2050s and 2070s.
  • Key climatic factors influencing the AJB's distribution include November maximum temperatures and precipitation in January, highlighting the need for urgent monitoring and management to safeguard apple production.

(Blessig) is a serious trunk borer of oak species, currently widespread only in eastern Asia. A better understanding of the invasive potential of this borer across other distribution-free areas is further needed to prevent its invasion and outbreaks. In this study, we mapped the current distribution of , two susceptible hosts ( and ) and all 11 host species of this borer, and then modeled their potential distributions.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines the differences in growth and population dynamics of a pest in plantation versus semi-natural forests, focusing on factors affecting its development.
  • Development duration was longer in semi-natural habitats by 25.7 days, with varying mortality rates and population trends observed between the two environments.
  • The findings suggest that semi-natural habitats provide greater natural pest regulation, as indicated by lower population trends and higher mortality rates compared to plantation habitats.
