Modeling the potential impact of climate change on the distribution of Western Corn Rootworm in Europe
The Western Corn Rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera, is an important insect pest of corn, which has been introduced into Europe from Northern America in 1980s. Since then, its distributional range is continuously expanding over the Central and South-Eastern Europe. This study assessed the potential effect of increased temperatures on the timing of WCR generation development and on the
