Modeling the impact of global warming on insect population dynamics and pest pressure

AbstractGlobal warming profoundly affects insect population dynamics, therefore changing their physiology, behaviour, and ecological function. The significant consequences of growing temperatures, altering precipitation patterns, and changing climatic circumstances on insect metabolism, development, and life cycles are investigated in this work. The interaction of these elements disturbs the ecological equilibrium and increases the stresses on agricultural systems by pests. This work investigates three main modelling techniques: mechanistic models, statistical models, and agent-based models in order to grasp and forecast these effects: While statistical models find patterns and connections from vast datasets, mechanistic models offer thorough understanding of physiological processes. Providing a geographically and temporally explicit viewpoint, agent-based models replicate individual-level behaviours and interactions within dynamic contexts. Combining these approaches will help us to grasp how global warming affects insect numbers, therefore facilitating the creation of adaptive management plans.
