Abstract EN
Pea leaf weevil, Sitona lineatus (L.), native to Europe and North Africa, has been introduced into many other countries around the world, including the USA and Canada.
Adults are oligophagous pests on leguminaceous plants.
Sitona lineatus was first recorded in Canada in 1997, near Lethbridge, Alberta.
Since then, it has spread north in Alberta and west into Saskatchewan in 2007.
Bioclimatic simulation models were used to predict the distribution and extent of establishment of S.
lineatus in Canada based on its current geographic range, phenology, relative abundance, and empirical data.
The study identified areas in Canada that are at risk for future establishment of S.
lineatus and developed a better understanding of climate effects.
Climate change projections (General Circulation Models) were then imposed on the bioclimatic model of S.
lineatus.
Bioclimatic model output varied for each of the three General Circulation Models.
In terms of suitability for pest establishment (Ecoclimatic Index), the NCAR273 CCSM climate data resulted in the most significant shift northward.
