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 ...

Long-term changes in communities of native coccinellids: population fluctuations and the effect of competition from an invasive non-native species [PDF]
, 2016 1. We assessed the changes in abundance and community composition of native species of coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on deciduous trees that occurred between 1970s and 2010s, in the Czech Republic. 2.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 365-376, January 2026.Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region

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

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 51-69, January 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity allows many animals to quickly respond to seasonal changes in their environment. Seasonal changes to physiological systems, such as sensory systems, may explain other more obvious changes in behaviour, often working synergistically with changes in ...

Evaluating Promotional Approaches for Citizen Science Biological Recording: Bumblebees as a Group Versus Harmonia axyridis as a Flagship for Ladybirds [PDF]
, 2017 Over the past decade, the number of biological records submitted by members of the public have increased dramatically. However, this may result in reduced record quality, depending on how species are promoted in the media.
