Abstract :
The bordered straw, Heliothis peltigera (Denis & Schiffermüller) is a well-known agricultural pest of some economically important plants throughout the world and Iran. In this paper, suitable areas for the potential distribution of this species in Iran were predicted using MaxEnt model, R package and ArcGIS based on its occurrence data and the bioclimatic factors. Moreover, the important climatic factors affecting their potential distribution were investigated. Based on the results of this study, the most suitable areas for this species are Gilan and Mazandaran Provinces. Additionally, most parts of the Bushehr Province and southern parts of the Hormozgan Province as well as western parts of the West Azarbaijan, Kordestan and Kermanshah Provinces have suitable conditions compared with the other areas. The main environmental variables contributing their distribution were precipitation of the wettest quarter (bio16), average wind speed in August (wind8) and May (wind5), and isothermality (bio2/bio7) (bio3). Predicting the distribution of this pest in the areas with high cultivation of its main hosts, can be important in the development of pest control strategies, obviously.
