“…We recorded only succinae group individuals, in the same way as that observed by Rezende et al (2010) in Minas Gerais, despite the polymorphism of colors displayed by the species in Brazil. From previous records in Brazil (Almeida & Silva, 2002;Rezende et al, 2010), as well as records in the United States and Mexico (Brown & Miller, 1998), we can infer that this staining pattern is predominant in America. This is in contrast with the Palaearctic region and Europe as a whole where dark shapes are also found (Koch, 2003).…”

The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773), was first recorded in Brazil in 2002 in Paraná state and subsequently observed in Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul and Minas Gerais. This species can spread to new areas and become dominant in the local community, reducing the density and diversity of native species, mainly Coccinellidae. The objective of this work was to record for the first time the occurrence of H. axyridis in the Federal District and its co-occurrence with other Coccinellidae species. The individuals were collected directly from plants at an organic farm in Taguatinga and in experimental fields of Embrapa Hortaliças, located in the Federal District, from August 2008 to January 2010. We collected 881 Coccinelids, and of these, 110 belong to the species H. axyridis. These were found exclusively on the following plants of the succinea group: maize, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, cucumber, cotton, tomato and coriander. We also observed its co-occurrence with the following lady beetle species: Cycloneda sanguine (Linnaeus, 1763), Hippodamia convergens (Guerin-Meneville 1842), Eriopis connexa (German, 1824), Scymnus sp., Nephaspis sp., Azya luteipes (Mulsant, 1850), Hyperaspis festiva (Mulsant, 1850), Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant, 1866), Psyllobora sp. and Coleomegilla maculata (De Geer, 1775). So far, we have not found any negative interactions between H. axyridis and these species. This is the northernmost H. axyridis record in Brazil. Moreover, the region was previously considered to have a low probability of occurrence for this species. Therefore, this record confirms that H. axyridis presents great adaptive plasticity to new habitats.

“…vegetables (Rezende et al, 2010). Although the presence of this species is recent in Brazil, significant reduction in the abundance of other native species of coccinellids has been recorded (Milléo et al, 2008), demonstrating the potential threat of this species to the guild of aphid predators in Brazil (Martins et al, 2009).…”

“…Multiple researchers have warned that Ha. axyridis could destabilise local coccinellid communities in Brazil (Arruda Filho et al, 2009; Harterreiten‐Souza et al, 2012; Koch et al, 2006; Martins et al, 2009; Milléo et al, 2008; Rezende et al, 2010), but such an evaluation has yet to be done.…”

“…Harmonia axyridis was first detected in subtropical southern Brazil in 2002 (Almeida & Silva, 2002), where it was subsequently associated with reductions in native coccinellid species (Martins et al, 2009; Milléo et al, 2008). It rapidly spread throughout southern Brazil (Arruda Filho et al, 2009; Rezende et al, 2010) and reached the tropical savanna habitats of the Distrito Federal by 2008, when it comprised 12.5% of the coccinellids sampled from annual crops (Harterreiten‐Souza et al, 2012). Multiple researchers have warned that Ha.…”

1. Detailed understanding of the mechanisms enabling or limiting the impacts of invasive generalist predators is needed. Harmonia axyridis is an invasive generalist coccinellid predator that may have destabilised coccinellid communities worldwide and is an excellent candidate for investigating invasion dynamics.2. We evaluated four hypotheses: (1) Nine years after being detected in Central Brazil, Ha. axyridis has dominated the coccinellid community. This is facilitated by (2) its broader aphid prey range than the other aphidophagous coccinellids, (3) its superiority as an asymmetrical intraguild predator, and (4) the invasibility of the present coccinellid community.3. We sampled the invertebrate communities associated with six organic vegetable farms in Brazil during 2017 and 2018, conducted a feeding trial to measure prey niche breadth and overlap, and estimated intra-and interspecific interaction strengths corresponding to first-order Lotka-Volterra parameters to evaluate the strength of intraguild predation and create a community matrix. 4. We found (1) Ha. axyridis comprised ≤8.3% of the coccinellid community. (2) Hi. convergens had the broadest prey niche and dominated the prey niche of Ha. axyridis. (3) We could not determine from the population data if Ha. axyridis was the dominant intraguild predator because its density was too low and constant.(4) The community matrix indicated that the present-day coccinellid community was stable. 5. We conclude Ha. axyridis has not become invasive in Central Brazil, in part because it does not have the broadest prey niche breadth and the present coccinellid community is stable to the present perturbation of Ha. axyridis.

Released as a biological control agent of aphids and coccids, Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has spread from Asia to four additional continents. Since 1988 H. axyridis has established in at least 38 countries in its introduced range: three countries in North America, six in South America, 26 in Europe and three in Africa. In different continents the species has spread at rates estimated between 100 and 500 km year -1 . Here, the global spread of H. axyridis is thoroughly reviewed. Mechanisms of short-and long-distance dispersal in coccinellids are discussed, as are the reasons for them, with particular emphasis on H. axyridis. Dispersal via anthropogenic means has been particularly important in the case of H. axyridis. Preliminary studies investigating the invasion routes of H. axyridis using genetic analyses (involving both microsatellite and mitochondrial DNA) are outlined.
