Modeling the effects of climate change scenarios on the potential distribution of Vespa crabro Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) in a Mediterranean biodiversity hotspot by Erika Bazzato, Arturo Cocco, Emanuele Salaris, Ignazio Floris, Alberto Satta, Michelina Pusceddu

“…To address this gap, this study identifies climatically suitable habitats for Vespa crabro under current conditions, projects its potential future distribution, and assesses potential range shifts driven by climate change to guide monitoring programs and management measures. We focused on Sardinia, a Mediterranean island with a heterogeneous morphological, geological, and climatic pattern, where V. crabro was accidentally introduced.We used 316 verified citizen science occurrences, high-resolution bioclimatic variables (40 × 40 m) specifically developed for the island, and two future climate and socio-economic scenarios for two temporal horizons (2040 and 2060) to model climatic suitability using an ensemble framework with three machine learning algorithms: Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Generalized Boosting Model (GBM), and Random Forest (RF). …”
