Abstract

While so many insect species are under pressure from environmental effects, insect pests seem to increase their population sizes under CC. Climate change (CC) poses one of the foremost challenges for humanity in the 21st century. This study clearly underlines that CC impact studies have to include different future timespans to identify significant effects on insects' lifecycles in a changing environment, potentially leading to changes in their spatio-temporal dynamics. Insects are the focus of CC impact studies due to their role as important pests in agriculture and forestry [2,3] as well as their role in contributing to different ecosystem services [4].
