Transgenerational Effects of a Neonicotinoid and a Novel Sulfoximine Insecticide on the Harlequin Ladybird [PDF]
Insects, 2021 The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis Pallas (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is a generalist predator and an effective biocontrol agent of various insect pests that has been exploited for the control of aphid pests in the greenhouse and field.

Bridgehead Effect in the Worldwide Invasion of the Biocontrol Harlequin Ladybird [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 Recent studies of the routes of worldwide introductions of alien organisms suggest that many widespread invasions could have stemmed not from the native range, but from a particularly successful invasive population, which serves as the source of ...

Exotic predators are not better biocontrol agents: the harlequin ladybird is not the most voracious in Mexico [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The use of exotic species for pest biocontrol has been a common pathway for introduction and dispersal of invasive species that may have undesired outcomes.

The genome sequence of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) [version 3; peer review: 1 approved, 2 approved with reservations, 1 not approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2021 We present a genome assembly from an individual female Harmonia axyridis (the harlequin ladybird; Arthropoda; Insecta; Coleoptera; Coccinellidae). The genome sequence is 426 megabases in span.

Evolution in biocontrol strains: insight from the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2012 After being used as a biocontrol agent against aphids for decades without harmful consequences, the Asian harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis has suddenly become an invasive pest on a worldwide scale.

From effective biocontrol agent to successful invader: the harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) as an example of good ideas that could go wrong [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The use of biological control agents to control pests is an alternative to pesticides and a tool to manage invasive alien species. However, biocontrol agents can themselves become invasive species under certain conditions.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2021 The objective of this study was to find out if useful insects - in this case, harlequin ladybirds (Harmonia axyridis) - are affected by plant protection products (PPP) to the same extent as pests and if this species shows any levels of resistance to ...
