Natural History of the Processionary Moths (Thaumetopoea spp.): New Insights in Relation to Climate Change (2015, background): “Other potential important climatic factors are rainfall (Pimentel et al. 2011; Hódar et al. 2012) and summer temperatures affecting adult dispersal (Battisti et al. 2006).”
The effect of temperature and humidity changes on insects development their impact on forest ecosystems in the expected climate change (2013, background): “Higher survivability of caterpillars in winter, during feeding time, was observed (Battisti et al. 2005, Buffo et al. 2007), whereas warmer nights in summer (with temperature over 14°C) influenced distance and altitude increase of female expansion (Battisti et al. 2006).”
Processionary Moths and Climate Change : An Update (2015, background): “Consistent with this assumption, unprecedented expansion was observed in the Italian Alps following the historical 2003 heat wave (Battisti et al. 2006).”
Additive effects of climate change on connectivity between marine protected areas and larval supply to fished areas (2015, background): “, 2012); the initiation of migration in moths is positively dependent on temperature and will shift temporally following temperature increase (Battisti et al., 2006).”
Responses of insect pests, pathogens, and invasive plant species to climate change in the forests of northeastern North America: what can we predict? (2009, background): “At its southern range boundary in Europe, F. alnus may be limited by desiccation and (or) scarcity of pollinator resources (Hampe 2005).”
Climate Change and Range Shifts in Two Insect Defoliators: Gypsy Moth and Nun Moth - a Model Study (2007, background): “…leading to multivoltinism, absence of extreme temperatures in winter that diminish population levels and possible shifts to novel host plants (Liebhold et al. 1995; Ayres and Lombardero 2000, Volney and Fleming 2000, Battisti 2004, Veteli et al. 2005, Battisti et al. 2006, Stastny et al. 2006).”
Contemporary climate change alters the pace and drivers of extinction (2011, background): “…to upward movement in average elevations, range shifts have also been observed as expansions of upper elevational limits (Hill et al., 2002; Battisti et al., 2006; Raxworthy et al., 2008), changes in species composition (Pounds et al., 1999; Wilson et al., 2005; Moritz et al., 2008), and…”
Common pathways by which non-native forest insects move internationally and domestically (2018, background): “In Europe, higher winter temperatures have increased larval survival and nocturnal adult dispersal of the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Thaumetopoeidae), allowing northern expansion (Battisti et al., 2006).”
Insect overwintering in a changing climate (2010, background): “Recent research suggests that a proportion of larval population is freeze tolerant to 10°C below the SCP and the remainder rely on supercooling to survive (Battisti et al., 2005; Battisti et al., 2006; Buffo et al., 2007).”
An elevational shift in butterfly species richness and composition accompanying recent climate change (2007, background): “…effects on montane ecological communities in southern Europe associated with climate change, as shown by recent outbreaks of the Pine processionary moth (Hódar et al., 2003; Battisti et al., 2006), and the fungal disease chytridiomycosis affecting amphibian populations (Bosch et al., 2006).”
