Potential distribution of the weaver ant <i>Oecophylla</i> under current and future climate
Our results highlight the potential for Oecophylla ants to shift in distribution under climate change, particularly in agricultural pest control. As these ant populations expand across different regions, they may play an important role in future pest management strategies. Our study provides key insights for further exploring how to use Oecophylla ants for biological pest control and provides a valuable reference for developing agricultural pest management measures in response to climate change. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
