Climate change can greatly expand invasive stink bug habitat

According to a recent modelling study, changing weather conditions could increase suitable habitat for the brown marmorated stink bug in the United States by 70%. The research, which was published in Pest Management Science, is based on data from a three-year stink bug monitoring effort in 17 states, as well as several potential climate scenarios.

There is a likely northward shift in stink bug-friendly conditions.
