Projected range overlap between the predator Teretrius nigrescens and the invasive stored product pest Prostephanus truncatus expands under climate change by Rachel R. Harman, William R. Morrison, III, Alison R. Gerken

“…Thus, we (1) used bioclimatic variables and known occurrences to model the potential distribution of T. nigrescens and P. truncatus in its native and introduced ranges, (2) projected future potential distribution out to the years 2050 and 2070 under low and high climate change scenarios (representative concentration pathways (RCP) 2.6 and 8.5, respectively), and (3) compared the ranges and important bioclimatic variables between the species. We used the platform Wallace, which employs an optimized maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model. …”
