GLOBAL WARMING AND INSECTS : A BRIEF

Because of high adaptability and diversity, the insects are categorizes as the remarkable organisms in animal kingdom. Till now approximately 9,25,000 insect species have been described but the real number is yet to describe estimated three times higher. Hence, their adaptability characterize them to accept many environmental changes due to global warming ¡ncluding the recent shifts in climatic conditions. Warm climate means as the temperature increases, the insect species with warmer environment enhances the population growth and the reproductive rate by multiplying faster. Subsequently, the global warming leads to a faster growth in insects which will have a wide spread influence on agriculture, public health and conservation.
