Warm Mesoclimate Advances the Seasonal Dynamics of Harmonia axyridis in Urban Habitats

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In 2016–2019, seasonal changes in the abundance of the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) were established in the city center of Prague, Central Europe, and in its outskirts.

Effects of temperature and humidity on the presence and prevalence of a common fungal parasite on an invasive ladybird

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 86-97, February 2026.
We investigated how temperature and relative humidity influence the parasitic fungus Hesperomyces harmoniae on the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis under controlled laboratory conditions. Abiotic factors significantly affect parasitism: High relative humidity increased parasite prevalence, development rate, and load, while both low and high ...

Contrasted effects of human pressure on biodiversity in the UK: a multi‐taxonomic assessment using airborne environmental DNA

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 12, December 2025.
Human activities have significantly modified habitats, resulting in a global biodiversity crisis. In this study, we leveraged the first national‐scale biodiversity survey based on airborne environmental DNA, comparing the effects of three human pressure indices increasing in complexity and scope – a binary urban–rural index, an index integrating land ...

Pisana polonica (Harmonia axyridis [Pallas], Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) - invazivna koristna vrsta

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2012
V začetku novembra 2011 smo v okolici Ljubljane na zidovih posameznih stanovanjskih hiš opazili množičen pojav polonic. Nekaj primerkov smo izlovili, da bi določili vrsto.

Scots pine forest in Central Europe as a habitat for Harmonia axyridis: temporal and spatial patterns in the population of an alien ladybird

Folia Oecologica, 2020
Understanding of habitat favourability has wide relevance to the invasion biology of alien species. We studied the seasonal dynamics of the alien ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in monoculture Scots pine forest stands in south-west

Metabolite‐based resistance in wheat varieties to aphid virus vectors: progress and future opportunities

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 11, Page 7276-7287, November 2025.
Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi are major pests on wheat. Natural product‐based aphid resistance holds promise for the sustainable control of these pests. The current literature is discussed, highlighting knowledge gaps and challenges that need addressing. Abstract Cereal aphids, Sitobion avenae and Rhopalosiphum padi, cause severe yield loss in

Mating Status Influences Cold Tolerance and Subsequent Reproduction in the Invasive Ladybird Harmonia axyridis

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Among arthropods, ability to survive cold conditions may be instrumental for species invading temperate or colder climatic zones. Cold tolerance can be influenced by multiple environmental and physiological factors.

Interspecific differences of ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in their repellency to ants

Journal of Zoology, Volume 327, Issue 1, Page 73-83, September 2025.
Our study found that, unlike those from mealworms, compounds in whole‐body extracts of ladybirds effectively deterred ants. No correlation was found between the degree of aposematic colouration (highly conspicuous vs. less conspicuous) and repellence. Mycophagous ladybird species exhibited levels of protection comparable to predatory species, and large

Whole Genome Resequencing Reveals Origins and Global Invasion Pathways of the Japanese Beetle Popillia japonica

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 16, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Invasive species are an increasing global threat given their ability to rapidly spread and adapt to novel environments. The adverse ecological and economic impacts of invasive species highlight the critical need to understand the mechanisms that underpin invasion processes and success.
