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.

Patterns of contribution to citizen science biodiversity projects increase understanding of volunteers’ recording behaviour [PDF]
, 2016 The often opportunistic nature of biological recording via citizen science leads to taxonomic, spatial and temporal biases which add uncertainty to biodiversity estimates.

Reliable ABC model choice via random forests
, 2015 Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) methods provide an elaborate approach to Bayesian inference on complex models, including model choice. Both theoretical arguments and simulation experiments indicate, however, that model posterior probabilities may ...

TURKISH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY, 2021 The Harlequin Ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773), is native to Eastern Asia but it has been introduced to many countries in Africa, America, and Eurasia. In Turkey, H. axyridis is one of the most fast-spreading invasive alien species. Since the collection of the first specimens in 2010, H. axyridis spread almost all over the country.

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.

Parasite, 2016 Hesperomyces virescens is a fungal ectoparasite (Laboulbeniales) that infects adult ladybirds. Research has recently focused on this parasite due to the discovery of its prevalence on the globally invasive harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis and for its

Top-down control by Harmonia axyridis mitigates the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 on a plant-aphid interaction [PDF]
, 2014 1. The present study investigated the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 (390 or 650 μmol/mol) on raspberry genotypes varying in resistance to the large raspberry aphid Amphorophora idaei and any subsequent impact on the coccinellid predator Harmonia ...

Expansion of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in South-Eastern Europe [PDF]
, 2022 In this paper, we report the first records of the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) from Republic of Kosovo as well as new records from Albania, Greece, Montenegro and the Republic of North Macedonia.

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2022 Coccinella quinquepunctata (the five-spot ladybird), was considered extinct in the UK until 1987. Since this time the species is abundant, however, only in very specific habitat in Wales and Scotland.

Elevated atmospheric CO2 impairs aphid escape responses to predators and conspecific alarm signals [PDF]
, 2014 Research into the impact of atmospheric change on predator–prey interactions has mainly focused on density dependent responses and trophic linkages. As yet, the chemical ecology underpinning predator–prey interactions has received little attention in ...
