| Research Abstract |
We studied about effects of global warming on the survival, extinction, and distributional pattern of insects. It was cleared that some dynamic climatic changes in Japan are effected by the El Nino and the southern wind from South China. These climatic phenomenons are closely related to the temperature in winter or the amount of rainfall. The most major effects by global warming to insects are an increase of the number of generations in a year and distributional range shift towards north. In this study, it was cleared that the synchronization among insects and its host plants is very important to the understanding of effects of global warming. Furthermore, the behavior of parasites and predator of agronomical pests will be affected by the unusual weather by global warming.
