Geographic variation in evolutionary rescue under climate change in a crop pest-predator system. [PDF]
Evol ApplAbstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are often built upon the “niche conservatism” assumption, such that they ignore the possibility of “evolutionary rescue” and may underestimate species' future range limits under climate change. We select aphids and ladybirds as model species and develop an eco‐evolutionary model to explore evolutionary rescue

First record of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in the Caucasus [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2013 This is the first record of the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) occurring in the Caucasus (Sochi region of Krasnodar territory, Russia). All the adults collected in the field there and reared from collected eggs,

Cannibalism in invasive, native and biocontrol populations of the harlequin ladybird. [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2014 Cannibalism is widespread in both vertebrates and invertebrates but its extent is variable between and within species. Cannibalism depends on population density and nutritional conditions, and could be beneficial during colonisation of new environments. Empirical studies are needed to determine whether this trait might facilitate invasion of a new area

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 ...

Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Serbia: Its presence on aphid-infested plants and co-occurrence with native aphidophagous coccinellids [PDF]
Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2020 The presence of the invasive coccinellid Harmonia axyridis in aphid colonies on plants, as well as its co-occurrence with native coccinellid predators was studied in the period 2011-2020.

Comment on “Invasive Harlequin Ladybird Carries Biological Weapons Against Native Competitors” [PDF]
Science, 2013 We comment on the implications that Vilcinskas et al . (Reports, 17 May 2013, p. 862) attach to the finding that the exotic, invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis carries microsporidia to which this species is insensitive but that is lethal to species that are native to the invaded areas.

The interaction of <i>Serratia</i> bacteria and harmonine in harlequin ladybird confers an interspecies competitive edge. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S AThe harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis , is a predatory beetle used globally to control pests such as aphids and scale insects. Originating from East Asia, this species has become highly invasive since its introduction in the late 19th century to Europe and North America, posing a threat ...
