Abstract
Human-mediated habitat loss, climate change, and the invasion of alien species often lead to changes in species distribution, community structure, and interspecific interactions, posing significant challenges for conservation biology and ecosystem management. The relationship between gall-inducing insects and their hosts is a model system that provides insight into complex ecological processes and helps identify habitat factors with idiosyncratic influences on species distribution. We explored and predicted the potential distribution of the rose gall wasp, Diplolepis rosae (Hym., Diplolepididae) in regions where its host plants, R. canina and R. rubiginosa, have expanded. The most influential factor on the occurrence probability of D. rosae, as expected, was the inherent distribution of Rosa spp. The intentional introduction of D. rosae to regions where its host plants have become invasive could have several conflicting ecological consequences. Diplolepis rosae may play a role in the biological control of its host plants, but could also give rise to novel ecological interactions with closely related native species, potentially complicating ecosystem strategies and impacting native biodiversity in unforeseen ways.
