The quality and quantity of yields formany crop systems can besignificantlyreducedbypestsanddisease.Forexample,thewheataphidreducesyieldsofgraincrops(Merrill,Holtzer,Peairs,&Lester,2009),Pierce'sdiseasevectoredbytheglassy‐wingedsharpshooterdiminishes grape yields (Bruening, Kirkpatrick, Esser, & Webster,2014), codling moth damages apple orchards (Rafoss & Sæthre,2003),andHuanglongbing(HLB)vectoredbytheAsiancitruspsyllid(ACP)decimatescitruscrops(daGraçaetal.,2016).Thepestsand/orvectorsofdiseaseareoftensmallarthropodsthataresensitiveto environmental conditions, including temperature and humidity(Mordecaietal.,2013;Tsai,Wang,&Liu,2002).Therefore,predict-ingwhenandwherethesepestsordiseasevectorswilloccur,andhencepotentiallossofcrops,isoftenhighlydependentonenviron-mentalconditions,andthusachangingclimate.Somecropsareal-readyexperiencing reducedyields associatedwith climate change(Challinor et al., 2014), anundesiredoutcome that couldbe exac-erbatedifitcoincideswithincreasesinpestpopulationsordiseasetransmission(Cammell&Knight,1992).However,predictingrealisticimpactsofclimatechangeonlivingsystems,suchaspestsanddis-easevectors,isamajorchallengeinecology(Rohretal.,2011).

Withthepressingneedtounderstandtheeffectsofclimatechangeonfoodproduction,weprovideamethodtoestimateanddisplaythefundamentalthermalnicheofacroppestordisease.Thefundamentalthermalnicheisthesetoftemperaturesunderwhichpopulationsofaspecieswouldbeexpectedtopersist,allelsebeingequal (Angilletta&Sears,2011). Itcanbeusedtopredictwherepestsordiseasecancurrentlyestablishoutsideoftheirexistingrange,aswellaspredictfu-turelocationsofpestanddiseaseoutbreaksassociatedwithachangingclimate.This,inturn,canfacilitatetargetingrisk‐basedsurveillanceandprophylactic interventions.Consequently,ourmethod forestimatingthefundamentalthermalnicheofacroppestordiseaseshouldbeanimportanttoolforcurrentandfutureagriculturalplanning.

Inthisstudy,weborrowapproachesestablishedforhumanvec-tor‐bornediseases (Mordecaietal.,2017,2013) tosimultaneouslyestimate the fundamental thermal niche of a crop pathogen andits insectvector.More specifically,we firstdevelopamechanisticmodelofdiseasetransmissionwheretheparametersofthemodelarefittedtodatafromtemperature‐dependentlaboratorystudies.

Ametricderivedfromthismodelisthenusedtoindicatehowsuit-ablelocationsarebasedonaveragemonthlytemperatures.Finally,we validate themodel by assessing howwell it correspondswithobservational dataon knowndiseaseoccurrence (Mordecai et al.,2013).Additionally,weuseBayesianinferencetoincorporateuncer-taintyarisingfromtheuseofmultipledatasourcesanduncertaintyintemperaturedependenceofeachofthevector'slifehistorytraitstoestimatetheoveralluncertaintyinthesuitabilitymetric(Johnsonetal.,2015).Ourmethodallowsfortheinclusionoftheintrinsicrea-sonsbehindwhyanorganismisfoundwhereitisandthepotentialinterplaywhendifferenttraitsoforganismsresponddisparatelytochangesinextrinsicfactors(Angilletta&Sears,2011).

2.1 | Formulation of S(T)

Todeterminethethermalnicheofcitrusgreening,wecharacterizethepossibilityofan introductionofcitrusgreeningpersistingatalocallevel,fordifferentlocationsaroundtheworld.Weuseanes-timateofthebasicreproductivenumberR0.WhenR0>1,thedis-easeis likelytospreadandleadtoanepidemic,whereasifR0<1,thediseasewill dieout.Wedetermine anequation forR0 for thespreadofcitrusgreeningonasinglegrovebyusingapreviouslyde-velopedmodelforcitrusgreening(Taylor,Mordecai,Gilligan,Rohr,&Johnson,2016).Inthismechanisticmodel,treesandpsyllidsaresplitinto different compartments based on their disease status. Treesare susceptible, asymptomatic (infected, but no symptoms) or in-fected(withsymptoms).Psyllidsaresusceptible,exposedorinfected(Figure1).Deathoftreesandroguing(removingtreesfromagroveduetohighlevelsofinfection)areincluded,aswellasreplacementof all removed treeswith susceptible trees. For full detailsof thismodel,seeAppendixS1.ThebasicreproductivenumberR0isthencalculatedas(Tayloretal.,2016):

ThisequationforR0canbeunderstoodbyconsideringhowdiseasepropagatesthroughthecitrussystem.Thenumberofpsyllids inthepopulationisdeterminedby:

Here,wefocusonfourpsyllidtraitsforwhichthereexistsdataacrosssufficient temperaturestoquantify theresponses: fecundity(FE);probabilityofeggtoadultsurvival(pEA);averagelongevity(theinverseofthemortalityrate,1/μ);andthedevelopmentrateofpsyl-lidsfromeggsintoadults(DP).ThemajorityofthedatacomesfromLiuandTsai(2000),whichhasarangeof15°Cupto30°Cforallfourpa-rameters,withadditionaldataat10and33°Cforsomeoftheparam-eters.Hall,Wenninger,andHentz(2011)andHallandHentz(2014)provide data on high and low extreme temperatures that preventdevelopmentofthepsyllidsand/orleadtomortality.However,Halletal.(2011)alsoprovideinformationonfecundityoffemalepsyllidsacrossatemperaturerangeof11–41°C.Weincludebothdatasetsforfecundity,andconsiderwhethertheygeneratedifferentpredictions.Hereafter,LiuandTsai(2000)andHalletal.(2011)willbereferredtoasLT00andH11,respectively,and,whenreferringtotheS(T)outputcreatedbyeitherdataset,LT00S(T)andH11S(T)willbeused.

Forallsetsofdata,wefittwofunctionstodescribethemeanrelationshipbetweenthetraitandtemperature:quadratic,givinga symmetric relationship (f

Pracros,Roux,&Pierre,1999).All responseswere fittedusingaBayesianapproach.Afterspecifyingthemeanrelationship,prob-abilitydistributionsappropriatetodescribethevariabilityaroundthismeanwere chosen, and priors specified (Appendix S2).Wechosepriors to limit parameters for theminimumandmaximumtemperature thresholds to approximate known limits to psyl-lidsurvival.For instance, theprioronthethermal limitswassetuniformlyovertheintervalfrom30to50°Ctoacknowledgethatexposingpsyllidstotheveryhightemperatureskillsthemalmostimmediately, while being wide enough to allow the laboratorydata primacy in the analysis. Priors for other parameters of themeanwerechosen tobe relativelyuninformativebut scaledap-propriatelyfortheresponse.Priorsonvarianceparametersweretypicallyalsochosentoberelativelyuninformative,althoughtheprecisespecificationvariedduetodifferencesinthescaleoftheresponsesandtoimprovemixingandconvergenceoftheMarkovChainMonteCarlosamplingscheme.Allresponseswerefittedinr(RDevelopmentCoreTeam,2008)usingthejags/rjagspackages(Plummer,2003,2013).AfterfittingbothquadraticandBriérere-sponses toeachdataset, thepreferred responsewaschosenviadevianceinformationcriterionasimplementedinrjags.

Once samples of the posterior distributions of parameters forthepreferredmodelwereobtained,thesewereusedtocalculatetheposteriorsamplesoftheresponseacrosstemperature.Then,ateachtemperature themean/medianof the responseandthe95%high-estposteriordensity(HPD)intervalwerecalculated.Theposteriorsamplesofeachtraitresponsewerethencombinedtocreatesam-plesfromtheoverallresponseofS(T) totemperature.Aswiththe

2.4 | Mapping suitability across space

Tocommunicatethepotentialsuitabilityoftheworld'slandsurfacefortransmissionofHLB,wemappedthemonthsofsuitabilityasafunction ofmeanmonthly temperatures.Weused theWorldClimdataset(version1.4,www.worldclim.org)(Hijmans,Cameron,Parra,Jones, & Jarvis, 2005), which corresponds to a climate period of1960–1990,usedtorepresenta longtermperiodinthe20thcen-tury;thisappropriatelyrepresentsthedaterangeofthevalidationoccurrencedata,from1956to2014.Usingthis“baseline”longtermclimatedatareducesanybiasesthatmayarisefromrecentwarmingsignalsmis‐representingtheearlierpartofthevalidationdata.WetooktheposteriormeanS(T)curvesfortheH11andLT00modelsacrosstemperaturesandextractedthetemperaturescorrespondingtothetop25thpercentileoftheS(T)curve(i.e.S(T)>0.75,AppendixS5) for the highly suitable thermal niche, and temperatures cor-responding to the transmission limits (S(T) >0) for thepermissivethermalniche(Ryanetal.,2015).Thesevalueswereusedwiththeclimate models (see Section 2.4.1) to determine, on average, thenumberofmonthseachyearthateachpixeliseitherpermissiveorhighlysuitable.

These are presence‐onlydata,sowecannotexaminehowwellourmodelpartitionspredictions between suitable andunsuitable areas.

If our model can adequately capture temperature con-ditions related to transmission and vector establishment, thenmost locations of HLB presencewill havemanymonths in thesuitablerange.Werestrictourselvestolocationsfromthedata-setthatarenotfrommountainousregions(i.e.exclusionofACP[n=26]andHLB [n=12]points)by removing thosecoincidingwithnamedmountainranges.Thisisbecause,atthespatialscaleweuse for climate layers, theseareas tend tohavemuchmoretrue variation in temperature, leading to higher uncertainty inthetemperaturepredictorthan inother locations.Thisremoval

Weuseoursuitabilitymetrictopredictregionswhicharepermis-siveorhighlysuitableforHLBaroundtheworld.OurmapsindicatethatregionsclosetotheequatorhavethegreatestnumberofmonthspermissiveforHLBtransmission,especiallyinSouthAmerica,AfricaandSouthEastAsia.SouthAmericaandSouthEastAsiaare,inpar-ticular,largecitrusproducingregions,andHLBisalreadypresentinboth(Coletta‐Filhoetal.,2004;Garnier&Bové,1996,2000;Torres‐Pacheco et al., 2013). The fact thatHLB is not only permissive all12monthsoftheyear,butisactuallyhighlysuitableyear‐round,indi-catesthescaleofthepotentialprobleminthoseareas.However,theHLBepidemicinSãoPauloStateinBrazil,themajorcitrus‐producingregioninthecountry,issuccessfullymanagedinthoseareasthathaveadheredtostrictrecommendationsforcontrol(Belasqueetal.,2010).Thediseaseenteredthestatein2004(Coletta‐Filhoetal.,2004).By2012,incidenceofdiseasewasestimatedaslowas1%forsymptom-atictreesacrossathirdofthecitrusacreageinthestate(Bové,2012).Incomparison, inFlorida,wherethediseasewasfirstdiscoveredin2005,growersinasurveyin2015wereaskedtoestimateboththepercentageof theircitrusacreswithat leastonetree infectedandthepercentageofalltheircitrustreesinfected,withresultsindicat-ing90%and80%,respectively(Singerman&Useche,2016).Thisisdespite the fact that our suitabilitymetric estimates the northernregionsofFloridatobehighlysuitableforHLBonly6monthsoftheyear.WhileBrazilmighthavemanagedtocontrolHLBsuccessfullyinsomeregions, thedisease is still spreading throughout thecountryin those regionswhichhavenotbeen asproactive in their control(Belasqueetal.,2010);areminderthat,withoutstrictcontrolmea-sures,thediseasecanspreadquicklyanddevastatingly,with100%HLBincidencepossibleininfectedgroves(Bové,2012).

Within the Northern Hemisphere, we highlight the suitabil-ityofCalifornia and the Iberianpeninsula forHLB transmission.

Although California has had incursions of the disease, with thefirstoccurringin2012(Kumagaietal.,2013),allhavebeenintreesatresidentialpropertiesandhencethecitrusindustryinCaliforniais currently free from disease (Byrne et al., 2018). Similarly, theIberianpeninsulahashadnocasesofHLB(Cocuzzaetal.,2017).However,both regionshavehighcitrusproductionand thus thepotential consequencesof incursionofHLBarehigh.TheyhavesimilarsuitabilityprofileswithpermissivesuitabilityofHLBonav-erageabout6monthsoftheyear inbothregions.Whilediseasetransmissionmightnotbepermissibleallyearround,treescanre-maininfectedwithHLBindefinitelyunlesstheyarerogued,thusallowing over‐wintering of the disease during the seasons thatACPwillnotbeactive(Gottwald,2010).Therefore,forthesetworegionstomaintainHLB‐freestatus,theyneedtodealwithincur-sions promptly to ensure infected trees are removed. However,Californiahastheaddeddisadvantagethatitsneighbouringcoun-tryandmanyneighbouringstateshave thediseaseorhaveACPpresent(Torres‐Pachecoetal.,2013).Indeed,theinitialincursionofACPintoCaliforniaismostlikelytohaveoccurredfromMexico(Bayles,Thomas,Simmons,Grafton‐Cardwell,&Daugherty,2017).ThismakesithardertoreducethelikelihoodofHLBincursionasitisdifficulttocontrolthemovementofvectorsacrossborders.FortheIberianpeninsula,ithasbeensuggestedthatincursionofHLBismostlikelythroughcontaminatedtrade,suchasinfectedplantmaterials(Cocuzzaetal.,2017).

Our analysis hasbeenperformed for the transmissionof theCLasformofHLBbythevectorACPandthusdoesnotquantifythe spread of CLaf HLB around the world from the African cit-ruspsyllid(AfCP).Therefore,thesuitabilityforHLBtransmissionmightbeunderestimated in someareasof theworld sinceAfCPhasadifferenttemperatureprofilethanACP,as itprefershigherelevationsandlowertemperaturesandthetwopsyllidshavenotbeenfoundinthesamelocations(daGraçaetal.,2016).In2014,AfCPwas first discovered inmainlandSpain, alarming the citrusindustry in Spain and Portugal (Cocuzza et al., 2017). Thus, it ispossiblethattheIberianpeninsulaispermissiveforHLBformoremonthsoftheyearthanwehavepredictedifAfCPistheprimaryvectorthere.

WehavevalidatedthismodelusingspatiallyexplicitrecordsofHLBandACPpresence.MostareaswithconfirmedHLBorACPareinregionsourmodelpredictsaspermissiveorhighlysuitableformostof theyear, indicatingthatourtemperature‐onlymodelcan capture an important component of the environment thatconstrainsthespatialdistributionofHLB.Narouei‐Khandanetal.(2016)usedspeciesdistributionmodellingwithclimaticvariablesto also create aHLB nichemodel, finding that annual precipita-tionlevels,resultinginhigherhumidity,arethegreatestpredictorofHLBpresencearound theworld.Unfortunately, there arenotenough laboratory experiments assessing the effect of humidityon psyllid life history traits for us to include this in our model.Whilst our validation results indicate that we have successfullycharacterizedasignificantcomponentofHLBtransmissionusingtemperature, our predictions could undoubtedly improve if we

(2016), althoughitisdifficulttomakecomparisonsbetweennumberofpermissivemonths(ourmodel)versustheprobabilityofoccurrence(Narouei‐Khandan et al., 2016model). TheNarouei‐Khandan et al. (2016)modelpredictsgreaterareasinAustraliasuitableforHLBandACPestablishmentthanourmodelbutonlycoastalareasofCaliforniaare predicted to have a high probability ofHLP andACP occur-rencewitha lowprobabilityelsewhere inCalifornia. In contrast,ourmodelpredictsupto7monthsofpermissivesuitabilityacrossmuchofCalifornia.

Ourmethodforcreatingthethermalnicheisadaptabletoothercrop diseases and pests due to its strength of being built usingmechanisticmodels.Spatiallyexplicitdataofdiseasepresencearetypically used to build ecological niche models in other contexts(Gething et al., 2011; Peterson, Martínez‐Campos, Nakazawa, &Martínez‐Meyer,2005).Amechanisticmodelwithadditionalon‐the‐groundvalidationislikelytopredictmorerobustlyhowtemperatureconstrainstransmissionthanacorrelativeapproachbasedonpres-ence‐onlydata. Italsoenablescleanprojections for futureclimatescenarios,asitisnotlimitedbyunquantifiablechangesinlandcover.

Ouruseoftwodatasetsforoneparameterhighlightshowourunderstanding of a disease/pest population can change signifi-cantly depending on the datawe use to parameterize ourmod-els.Thebestway to avoid this and reduceouruncertainty is touse multiple data sources combined, but this requires multipleexperimentsfromdifferent laboratoriesestimatingthesamepa-rameteracrossarangeoftemperaturesusingthesameempiricalapproaches.Oftenmultipleexperimentslikethisdonottakeplacebecauseofaperceivedlackofnovelty,butasweshowhere,theyarepotentially important to fullyunderstandthe impactof tem-perature on the persistence and establishment of vector‐bornediseasesandpestpopulations.

Asourmappingofsuitabilityisperformedatthepixellevel,ap-proximately10km2attheequator,thisallowsustopredictsuitabil-itytoaveryfinescale.Therefore,ourmapforHLBsuitabilitycanbeusedasatooltodeterminesurveillanceandmanagementstrat-egiesatafinespatialscale.Furthermore,thegeneralmethodisap-plicableforothervector‐bornecropdiseasesorpests.Suitabilitydoes not indicate where incursions of the disease are likely tooccur,but itdoeshighlight the regionswhere it ismost likely toestablishandthereforewhereitismostnecessarytoavoidincur-sion. For example, for HLB in California, surveillance should betargetedmostlytowardsthesouthernpartofthestate(Figure6).Furthermore,forthosecountrieswithdiseasepresentalready,thesuitabilitymapscanindicatewhichregionsshouldhavedifferentmanagementaims:astrictmanagementpolicytokeep incidencelevelsloworcompleteeradicationinregionswithlowersuitabil-ity.
