Aftermath of climate change on insect migration: A review

Climate change is inflicting a huge impact in all the corners of biosphere. The insects, one of the early inhabitants of the biosphere are well known for their co-evolution with the plants and adaptation to the diverse environments. The power of flight makes the insect community to occupy new habitats and hence insect migration is one of the predominant areas for investigation in the perspective of climate change. The insect migration is a complex science that involves thorough understanding of insect bio-ecology along with knowledge of meteorology, aerodynamics, remote sensing and climatology. The various abiotic parameters that influence the insect migration and the effects of these parameters under the changing climatic scenario are discussed in this paper.
