Limited Transmission of the Ectoparasitic Fungus Hesperomyces virescens between Lady Beetles

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012
The ectoparasitic fungus Hesperomyces virescens Thaxter (Ascomycota: Laboulbeniales) commonly infects the invasive lady beetle Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) and several other aphidophagous lady beetles in North America and Europe.

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 ...

Aggregation behaviour of Harmonia axyridis

, 2013
The multicoloured Asian ladybeetle, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), forms large aggregations inside dwellings to survive cold winters. The species’ migratory flight is well documented. Harmonia axyridis preferentially moves towards prominent and visually contrasting elements (Obata, 1986; Nalepa et al., 2005).

Alternative Prey and Artificial Diet of the Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Harmonia axyridis: A Review

Insects
As an important natural enemy insect, Harmonia axyridis has significant biological control effects on a variety of pests such as aphids in agroforestry ecosystems. The large-scale application of H. axyridis has long been limited by the unstable supply of

Factors Altering the Temporal and Within-Plant Distribution of Coccinellids in Corn and Their Impact on Potential Intra-guild Predation [PDF]

, 2017
In New York, the primary coccinellid in corn and sweet corn (Zea mays, L.) has historically been Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer). However, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) has also been observed the last few years.

Artificial diets can manipulate the reproductive development status of predatory ladybird beetles and hold promise for their shelf-life management

Heliyon
With the development of biological control methods, the predatory ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis Pallas (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has been widely used for pest control in agricultural production.

Predation of Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) Eggs in Sweet Corn by Generalist Predators and the Impact of Alternative Foods [PDF]

, 2017
Generalist predators are common in most agricultural cropping systems. However, pest control from these predators is often overlooked as a component of integrated pest management (IPM) because the extent of predation is generally unknown and difficult to
