Megabruchidius dorsalis and Bruchidius coreanus are sympatric bean weevil species that bore into Gleditsia sinensis seeds, seriously affecting the commercial development of this plant. Here, we aimed to understand potential changes in the distribution of these two sympatric pests under current and future climate conditions to provide a reference for the prediction of their occurrence and facilitate their prevention and control. Based on empirical field data, we predicted the potential distributi
