Assessing the establishment risk for parthenogenetic populations of Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus in global rice-growing areas and potential economic impact in China.

ABSTRACT: The rice water weevil, Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), threatens global rice production, with invasion events driven by its parthenogenetic populations. However, the global establishment risk in global rice-growing areas and potential economic losses and control benefits of the populations in invaded areas remain unclear. We applied an optimized MaxEnt model to predict the global suitable areas of the populations under current and future climate scenarios. Furthermore, we used @Risk software to estimate the potential economic losses and controlling benefit of this populations to rice production in China. Compared to its native range (North America), this populations has explored novel climates ecological niches in invaded areas (Europe and Asia) and oc
