Effects of Fluctuating Thermal Regimes and Pesticides on Egg Hatching of a Natural Enemy Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera Coccinellidae)

Agronomy, 2023
The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, is a valuable asset in integrated pest management (IPM); however, issues related to low-temperature storage and transportation have resulted in low hatching rate, while the use of pesticides may lead to non ...

Repeated inversions within a pannier intron drive diversification of intraspecific colour patterns of ladybird beetles

Nature Communications, 2018
The harlequin ladybird beetle, Harmonia axyridis, has remarkable phenotypic diversity, with over 200 colour patterns. Here, Ando et al. show that this patterning is regulated by the transcription factor gene pannier and has diversified by repeated ...

History of the Biodiversity of Ladybirds (Coccinellidae) at the Black Sea Coast of the Russian Caucasus in the Last 120 Years—Does the Landscape Transformation and Establishment of Harmonia axyridis Have an Impact?

Insects, 2020
Studies of the history of regional insect fauna are important for understanding the changes in ecosystems. We analyzed the dynamics of ladybird fauna at the main sea resort of Russia over a period of 120 years to determine the following: (1) what species

Spiroplasma infection in Harmonia axyridis - Diversity and multiple infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The heritable endosymbiotic bacterium Spiroplasma is found in the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis. The proportion of beetles infected with Spiroplasma in different native H. axyridis populations varies from 2% to 49%.

Hybrid feature extractor for harlequin ladybird identification using color images [PDF]

2012 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (CIBCB), 2012
This paper describes research into the automation of the identification of harlequin and other ladybird species using color images. The automation process involves image processing and the use of an artificial neural network as a classifier. The ultimate aim is to reduce the number of color images to be examined by an expert by pre-sorting the images ...

Life history of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: a global meta-analysis [PDF]

BioControl, 2017
The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, is an important natural enemy of aphids throughout the world, but is now also considered an invasive alien species. We performed a meta-analysis of published life history data to address the question whether invading populations in Europe and North America have life history parameters that differ from native ...

Parasitylenchus sp. (Tylenchomorpha: Allantonematidae) parasitizing field populations of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Adults of the invasive harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), were found to be parasitized by nematodes (Tylenchomorpha: Allantonematidae) in Denmark. The nematodes were identified as Parasitylenchus sp.
