Climate change leads to invasive insect expansion on US West Coast binghamtonu
Side by side, Dylan Jones displayed photos of two oak leaves. One was healthy and green, dotted by the occasional gall, a structure made by a herbivorous species of oak gall wasp. The other leaf was yellowed and tattered, the victim of an insect population without predatory checks and balances. Climate change has led to warming temperatures in the Pacific Northwest, leading species such as Neurotereus saltatorius to expand their range into more northerly oak savannas.
Jones, a Binghamton University doctoral candidate in biological sciences and Clifford D. Clark Diversity Fellow, is the lead author of a research paper recently published in theon the situation. Co-authors on"Latitudinal gradient in species diversity provides high niche opportunities for a range-expanding phytophagous insect" include Prior, field technician Julia Kobelt, then-undergraduate Jenna Ross and Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Thomas Powell.
