Abstract

Climate change is profoundly altering the migration patterns of insects worldwide. As global temperatures rise and weather patterns shift, insects—key players in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems—are responding with changes in their timing, direction, distance, and success of migration. These changes have significant consequences for biodiversity, agriculture, ecosystem functioning, and even human health. This research paper synthesizes current knowledge on how climate change is reshaping insect migration, drawing on global case studies, long-term datasets, and recent advances in ecological modeling. We highlight the mechanisms driving these changes, the ecological and economic implications, and the urgent need for integrated research and management strategies.
