Characterization of a newly established aggregation of the invasive ladybeetle Harmonia axyridis and current status of the invader in Spain

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015
The multicoloured Asian ladybeetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), an invasive biocontrol agent introduced in North and South America, as well as in Europe for aphid control, drastically affected assemblages of native coccinellid species, local communities ...

Responses of avian predators to the polymorphic harlequin ladybird (Harmonia axyridis)

Ecological Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 357-367, June 2024.
Harlequin ladybird shows high colour polymorphism with particular colour forms differing substantially in their abundance in nature in Central Europe, where this species acts as invasive. We experimentally showed that two species of passerine birds substantially differ in their attitude to this ladybird species, very likely due to their diet ...

Native ladybird decline caused by the invasive harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis : evidence from a long‐term field study

Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2017
Abstract Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is regarded as an invasive non‐native species in Europe, where it has been spreading rapidly since the early years of the 21st century.

The effect of the coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on transmission of the fungal pathogen Pandora neoaphidis (Entomophthorales: Entomophthoraceae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
The coccinellid Harmonia axyridis is a recent arrival in the UK and is an intraguild predator of the entomopathogenic fungus Pandora neoaphidis. Harmonia axyridis entirely consumes P. neoaphidis-sporulating cadavers and this may have a negative effect on
