Fig. 3. Predicted global overwintering survival of the diamondback moth.
a Mean distribution of winter survival in the present 5 years. b Changes in winter survival over the past 50 years. c, d Changes in winter survival for future climate scenarios with a predicted +2 °C or +6 °C increase in mean temperatures. e Predicted global overwintering land area, and f expanded overwintering area at given past and possible future warming scenarios. g Global annual dynamics of low-temperature degree-days (LTDD) in the overwintering marginal belt. In the tendency line, R2 indicates the variability explained by the regression line. P value was calculated using two-sided Fisher’s test. All predictions are based on the field validated LTDD-dependent survival model. Source data are provided as a Source data file.
