Crops & Soil - Predicting the host plant associations of insect herbivores using community-level interaction data.

正在进行的环境变化越来越多地与许多物种的活动范围扩大以及本土植物(粮食作物、林业、本土生物多样性)暴露在新的天敌群落中有关。其中，许多最具破坏性的是昆虫，每年造成价值数十亿美元的损害和损失。气候变化规划的一个重要方面是“地平线扫描”，预测哪些经济和社会上重要的植物可能成为尚未到达英国的范围扩大的食草动物的潜在食用植物。

Ongoing environmental change is increasingly associated with range expansions by many species, and the exposure of native plants (food crops, forestry, native biodiversity) to new suites of natural enemies. Of these, many of the most damaging are insects, responsible for billions of dollars worth of damage and loss annually. An important aspect of planning for climate change is 'horizon scanning', predicting which economically and socially important plants are likely to be potential food plants for range expanding herbivores yet to reach the UK.
