Climate change is altering insect disturbance regimes via temperature‐mediated
phenological changes and trophic interactions among host trees, herbivorous insects, and …

Much evidence is accumulating that insect distributions are changing. The changing earth's
climate is providing mobile species with an evolving “hospitability” template, and increasing …

The long-term history of Zeiraphera diniana Gn.(the larch budmoth, LBM) outbreaks was
reconstructed from tree rings of host subalpine larch in the European Alps. This record was …
