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%.

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

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 ...

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.

Geographic variation in evolutionary rescue under climate change in a crop pest-predator system. [PDF]

Evol Appl
Abstract 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

Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) as a host of the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces virescens (Ascomycota: Laboulbeniales, Laboulbeniaceae): A case report and short review

European Journal of Entomology, 2013
Hesperomyces virescens is an ectoparasite of some Coccinellidae, which until the mid-1990s was relatively rarely only reported from warm regions in various parts of the world. Analysis of the host and distribution data of H.

Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): Smelling the rat in native ladybird declines

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
In the last two decades a huge amount of research has focused on the invasive harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, particularly on potential or actual deleterious effects that have arisen after it has colonised new regions.

Do atmospheric events explain the arrival of an invasive ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) in the UK?

PLoS ONE, 2020
Species introduced outside their natural range threaten global biodiversity and despite greater awareness of invasive species risks at ports and airports, control measures in place only concern anthropogenic routes of dispersal.
