Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency and impact of plant invasions, creating a need for new control strategies as part of mitigation planning. The complex interactions between invasive plants and biocontrol agents have created distinct policy and management challenges, including the effectiveness and risk assessment of biocontrol under different climate change scenarios. In this brief review, we synthesize recent studies describing the potential ecological and evolutionary outcomes for biocontrol agents/candidates for plant invaders under climate change. We also discuss potential methodologies that can be used as a framework for predicting ecological and evolutionary responses of plant-natural enemy interactions under climate change, and for refining our understanding of the efficacy and risk of using biocontrol on invasive plants.
气候变化预计会增加植物入侵的频率和影响，因此需要制定新的控制策略，作为缓解规划的一部分。入侵植物和生物防治剂之间的复杂相互作用带来了明显的政策和管理挑战，包括在不同的气候变化情景下生物防治的有效性和风险评估。在这篇简短的综述中，我们综合了最近的研究，描述了生物防治剂/入侵植物候选生物防治剂在气候变化下的潜在生态和进化结果。我们还讨论了潜在的方法学，这些方法学可以作为预测气候变化下植物-天敌相互作用的生态和进化反应的框架，并有助于我们更好地理解生物防治入侵植物的效果和风险。
