Asymmetric thermal responses between the globally invasive pest <scp> <i>Bemisia tabaci</i> </scp> and its parasitoids: implications for biological control under warming climates
Our findings reveal distinct thermal tolerance limits and adaptive strategies between B. tabaci and its parasitoids. These divergent physiological responses provide molecular ecological insights into thermal adaptation in a tri-trophic system, with important implications for optimizing biological control under changing climatic conditions. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
