Is climate change to blame? Increased rainfall reduces emergence of <i>Taiwanosemia hoppoensis</i> (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) in coastal windbreak forests
Abstract We found that increased rainfall reduced exuvial numbers and impacted populations of Taiwanosemia hoppoensis from coastal regions, likely due to prolonged soil flooding harming the subterranean nymphs. As climate change advances, long‐term monitoring is essential to track cicada populations across taxa and regions, given their important ecological roles. Abstract in Chinese is available with online material.
