Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.We studied co‐occurrences and potential novel interactions between the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and local biota (plants, arthropods and fungi) across Argentina using citizen science records. We detected co‐occurrences (mainly Asteracea and Aphididae) and previously unreported interactions (predation, parasitism, interspecific mating and ...

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 86-97, February 2026.We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...
