Effects of recent climate change have already been detected in many species, and, in particular, in insects. The present paper reviews the key impacts of global warming on insect development and dispersal. The effects of climate change appear to be much more complex than a simple linear response to an average increase in temperature. They can differ between seasons and bioclimatic regions. Earlier flight periods, enhanced winter survival and acceleration of development rates are the major insect responses. Differential response of insects and hosts to warming up might also lead to disruption of their phenological synchrony, but adaptive genetic processes are likely to quickly restore this synchrony. In a number of cases, warming results in removing or relocating the barriers that limit present species' ranges. It is also likely to facilitate the establishment and spread of invasive alien species. Finally, knowledge gaps are identified and future research interests are suggested.
近期气候变化的影响已在许多物种中被检测到，尤其是在昆虫中。本文综述了全球变暖对昆虫发育和扩散的关键影响。气候变化的影响似乎比温度平均升高的简单线性响应要复杂得多。它们在不同季节和生物气候区域可能有所不同。更早的飞行期、冬季存活率提高和发育速度加快是昆虫的主要反应。昆虫和宿主对变暖的不同反应也可能导致它们物候同步性的破坏，但适应性遗传过程可能会迅速恢复这种同步性。在许多情况下，变暖会导致消除或重新定位限制当前物种分布范围的障碍。它也可能促进外来入侵物种的建立和传播。最后，确定了知识差距并提出了未来的研究方向。
