  Prediction of Aulacaspis Tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) Populations Using RCP Scenarios in Luxor Governorate, Egypt Authored by Moustafa MS Bakry The present work was carried out to study the effect of some climatic factors on the population density of the white mango scale insect, Aulacaspis Tubercularis on mango trees during three time series (2011-2040, 2041-2070 and 2071-2100) under four Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (2.6, 4.5, 6.0 and 8.5) as compared with the current population of the pest (average of population density for two years of 2017 and 2018) at Esna district, Luxor Governorate, Egypt. Monthly estimations of total A. tubercularis population indicated the presence of four peaks of insect abundance per year. The means of solar radiation were entirely above the optimum range for activities of nymphs, adult females and total population of A. tubercularis and solar radiation was the most effective variables in population changes by...
