A Theoretically Grounded, Behaviour‐Science‐Informed Model for Understanding Citizen Biosecurity Reporting

Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
Citizen reporting of biosecurity threats is an important yet inconsistently practiced element of environmental surveillance. This study examines the behavioural factors shaping reporting in Aotearoa New Zealand by conceptualising reporting as a multi‐step process influenced by psychological, social, and structural conditions.

Phenology of brown marmorated stink bug described using female reproductive development [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractTemperature‐based degree‐day models describe insect seasonality and to predict key phenological events. We expand on the use of a temperature‐based process defining timing of reproduction through the incorporation of female reproductive physiology for the invasive pentatomid species Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug.

Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) Is a Marginal Host for Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021
Abstract The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a well-documented pest of agricultural crops across the globe. However, not all crops are suitable hosts for H. halys, and it is necessary to proactively document the susceptibility of economically important specialty crops, such as cranberry (

Degree of insecticide exposure and access to nectar impact survival of Trissolcus japonicus, a hymenopteran parasitoid, in flowering border strips

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 3, Page 357-366, August 2026.
We applied three thiamethoxam spray treatments to buckwheat border strips: control (no nearby spray), drift (adjacent peach trees directly sprayed) and direct spray (buckwheat and peaches directly sprayed). Drift‐treated buckwheat received about 1.4% the amount of thiamethoxam as direct‐spray buckwheat. This amount has no lethal effects on parasitoids,

Phenotypic plasticity in an egg parasitoid affects olfactory response to odors from the plant–host complex

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Female egg parasitoids must optimize their ability to find a suitable host for reproduction in a limited foraging time. Odorant cues associated with the plant–host complex play an essential role in guiding females toward the host.

Efficacy of Selected Commercial Bio‐Products in Disrupting Symbiont Acquisition and Survival of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 7, Page 764-773, July 2026.
Targeting the symbiont Candidatus Pantoea carbekii offers a novel way to manage the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). Among the three commercial bio‐products tested, Dentamet significantly reduced symbiont acquisition and caused up to 75% nymphal mortality in laboratory conditions, which was confirmed by quantitative Real‐Time ...

The Distribution of Overwintering Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in College Dormitories [PDF]

Florida Entomologist, 2015
This investigation into the pattern of overwintering brown marmorated stink bugs (BMSB) used survey data collected between Dec 2013 and Mar 2014 from residents in two 4-story dormitories on the Rutgers University Cook Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.

Key to Nearctic species of Trissolcus Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae), natural enemies of native and invasive stink bugs (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae)

Journal of Hymenoptera Research, 2015
Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) and T. cultratus (Mayr), comb. rev. are under study as classical biological agents to control the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) in North America.

The Rise of Stemphylium vesicarium: A Growing Threat to Pear Production in Europe

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Brown spot of pear, caused by the fungus Stemphylium vesicarium, was reported in Italy in 1975 and only recently, due to climate change and pesticide restrictions, it became a major threat for European pear production. New knowledge on this pathogen can allow the advent of new and effective control strategies.

Multilocus sequence typing of the invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) and associated endosymbiont reveals unexplored diversity

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1187-1205, June 2026.
A multilocus sequence typing approach is proposed to explore Halymorpha halys genetic diversity, taking into consideration both insect nuclear markers and markers from the gut symbiont “Candidatus Pantoa carbekii.” Increased information was revealed regarding the number of distinct holobiont haplotypes in native and invasive populations of the pest ...
