Behavioral and Immunological Features Promoting the Invasive Performance of the Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia axyridis [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017 The harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis is now established as a model to test hypotheses explaining why some species become successfully invasive, while others, even closely related ones, do not.

The Genomic Basis of Color Pattern Polymorphism in the Harlequin Ladybird. [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Many animal species are comprised of discrete phenotypic forms. Understanding the genetic mechanisms generating and maintaining such phenotypic variation within species is essential to comprehending morphological diversity. A common and conspicuous example of discrete phenotypic variation in natural populations of insects is the ...

Distribution and identification of the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis
, 2006 Britain has a new ladybird species—and it is distinctly unwelcome. The Harlequin Ladybird Harmonia axyridis arrived from mainland Europe in 2004 and has rapidly established itself over large parts of south-east England.

Decline in native ladybirds in response to the arrival of the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis
, 2011 Changes in UK ladybird species assemblages were assessed during the invasion phase of the alien harlequin ladybird. Harlequins increased from 0.1% (year 1) to 40% (year 3) of total ladybirds sampled, whilst native aphidophagous ladybirds declined from 84%

Invasive harlequin ladybird carries biological weapons against native competitors
Science, 2022 S.862-863Invasive species that proliferate after colonizing new habitats have a negative environmental and economic impact. The reason why some species become successful invaders, whereas others, even closely related species, remain noninvasive is often ...
