Abstract:
... The present study investigated the environmental variables that define a suitable climate for the bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé, using presence‐only data, with the aim of identifying areas that have a suitable climate (and thus high probability) for future colonization and generating a spatially explicit predictive map of environmental suitability. An occurrence databa ...

Abstract:
... Thaumastocoris peregrinus is a sap‐feeding insect native to Australia that has become a serious global pest of Eucalyptus species. To date, T. peregrinus has been found in more than 10 countries across Europe, Africa, South America and Oceania. In the present study, we used the climate modelling software climex (Hearne Scientific Software Pty Ltd, Australia) to predict the potential distribution o ...
