The contribution of volunteer recorders to our understanding of biological invasions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The process of invasion and the desire to predict the invasiveness (and associated impacts) of new arrivals has been a focus of attention for ecologists over centuries.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

Influence of Elytral Color Pattern, Size, and Sex of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) on Parasite Prevalence and Intensity of Hesperomyces virescens (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniales)

open access: yesInsects, 2018
Harmonia axyridis is an invasive ladybird (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) with the potential to outcompete native ladybird species in its invasive distribution area.

Entomopathogenic fungi and invasional meltdown [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Invasive non-native (alien) species are considered to be one of the greatest threats to biodiversity (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment 2005) through predation, competition, hybridisation or as vectors of disease (Hulme et al., 2009). The movement of peole

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

open access: yesMolecular 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.

Antagonistic interactions between an invasive alien and a native coccinellid species may promote coexistence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
1. Despite the capacity of invasive alien species to alter ecosystems, the mechanisms underlying their impact remain only partly understood. Invasive alien predators, for example, can significantly disrupt recipient communities by consuming prey species ...

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.

Links and trade-offs between fisheries and environmental protection in relation to the sustainable development goals in Thailand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The fisheries sector significantly contributes to global food security, nutrition, and livelihood of people. Its importance for economic benefits, healthy diets, and nutrition, and achieving sustainable food systems is highlighted by several Sustainable ...

Occupancy of Urban Habitats by the Jersey Tiger Moth Is Revealed by Social Media Data but Not Traditional Monitoring

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Photos posted on social media could provide information on species' responses to climate change that is up to date and from areas under‐represented in traditional biological record data. Instagram and iNaturalist data reveal that the Jersey tiger moth, a species that is shifting northwards in Europe, is using urban habitat.
