Data from: Increase in crop losses to insect pests in a warming climate

Insect pests substantially reduce yields of three staple grains—rice,
maize, and wheat—but models assessing the agricultural impacts of global
warming rarely consider crop losses to insects. We use established
relationships between temperature and the population growth and metabolic
rates of insects to estimate how and where climate warming will augment
losses of rice, maize, and wheat to insects. Global yield losses of these
grains are projected to increase by 10 to 25% per degree of global mean
surface warming. Crop losses will be most acute in areas where warming
increases both population growth and metabolic rates of insects. These
conditions are centered primarily in temperate regions, where most grain
is produced.
