Living with the enemy: parasites and pathogens of the ladybird Harmonia axyridis [PDF]
BioControl, 2011 Harmonia axyridis is an invasive alien predator in many countries across the world. The rapid establishment and spread of this species is of concern because of the threat it poses to biodiversity as a generalist predator. Understanding the mechanisms that contribute to the success of this species as an invader is not only intriguing but also critical ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 393-402, May 2025.To attract mates, several coleopteran taxa release volatile sex pheromones via a behaviour termed calling. We studied a postulated calling behaviour in the seven‐spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L. for the first time. We also investigated the effects of immediate mating history and the presence of conspecifics on calling behaviour.

Fitness of two phenotypes of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 The coccinellid H. axyridis shows considerable intraspecific variability of elytral patterns. In this paper, we suggest that a genotype that confers a specific pattern of elytra could also confer other specific autecological attributes. The aim of this paper is to compare fitness parameters of two phenotypes (aulica and nigra). Aulica is a common morph

Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.Most pollinator species, including monarch butterflies, may gain potential climate space in the future. Shifting to new locations is an additional challenge of climate change. Management, restoration and citizen participation to provide resources and reduce stressors are ecological solutions.

Occurrence of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in field crops [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2013 The Multicoloured Asian Ladybird, Harmonia axyridis Pallas (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is known to thrive principally in shrubby and arboreal habitats. This study focuses on the occurrence of this exotic species and its seasonal abundance in various field crops. The abundance of adults, larvae and pupae of H.
