Investigating the Impact of Climate Warming on Phenology of Aphid Pests in China Using Long-Term Historical Data.

ABSTRACT: Global climate warming has significant influence on individual development, population dynamics, and geographical distribution of many organisms, which has drawn much attention in recent years. As a large group of poikilotherms, insects whose life activities are closely linked with ambient temperature are supposed to be influenced by global warming. In order to test the consistency or difference of the effects of long-term climate warming on phytophagous insect pests in different geographical environments, this study collected historical data on the occurrence and population dynamics of three aphid pests (Myzuspersicae, Aphis gossypii, and Sitobionavenae) in China, and systematically explored their phenological responses. We found that, during a period of about 60 years, in general, the fi
