Climate Warming and Past and Present Distribution of the Processionary Moths (Thaumetopoea spp.) in Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa

  • First Online:

Abstract

Pine processionary moth, Thaumetopea pityocampa, is a model insect indicator of global warming, the northwards and upwards range expansion of this Mediterranean species being directly associated with the recent warming up. The knowledge about the drivers of moth expansion is synthesized. A first standardized mapping of the northern expansion edge, from Western Europe to Turkey, is presented, then detailed for 20 countries of Europe, Asia Minor and North Africa, including future trends. Additional data about the responses of the other Thaumetopoea species are given. Finally, the chapter points out the importance of the man-mediated introductions in the expansion process.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Direct effects of temperature on physiological processes and metabolic kinetics are also to be expected in ectothermic organisms (Liu et al. 1995). Their impact on development may be assessed from degree-days summations.

  2. 2.

    Actual feeding was observed starting from AT >6 °C, but 9 °C was chosen as a conservative value to ensure that larvae experienced induction for at least 1 h.
