11a. Tropical crops suffer more damage because warm, wet climates allow many more pest species and let them reproduce year‑round (no freezing winter to kill them). That yields higher pest abundance, more generations per season, faster population growth and therefore greater crop loss.
12a. Humans control pests to protect food production and incomes (reduce crop/livestock losses), safeguard human and animal health (control disease vectors), preserve property and ecosystems, and limit economic and ecological damage from invasive species.
