The Potential Geographic Distribution of <i>Bactrocera minax</i> and <i>Bactrocera tsuneonis</i> (Diptera: Tephritidae) in China.

ABSTRACT: The Bactrocera minax (Enderlein) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Bactrocera tsuneonis (Miyake) (Diptera: Tephritidae) are the only members of the subgenus of the Tetradacus of Bactrocera. They share nearly identical morphological characteristics and occupy highly overlapping ecological niches, specifically harming citrus crops and causing substantial damage to citrus production in China. To determine the suitable habitat of the two pests and how the citrus coverage affects this distribution. This study employed the Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt) to predict the potential geographic distributions (PGDs) of B. minax and B. tsuneonis under current and future climate scenarios, using species occurrence data and key environmental variables. The result indicat
