Predicting the potential distribution in China of Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff) under current and future climate conditions

Abstract Euwallacea fornicatus (Eichhoff) is an important forest pest that has caused serious damage in America and Vietnam. In 2014, it attacked forests of Acer trialatum in the Yunnan province of China, creating concern in China’s Forestry Bureau. We used the CLIMEX model to predict and compare th...
