“…Both species occur in trees prior to moving to crops in spring and after harvest in late summer, and in early autumn, they again occupy trees (Honek, , ). They mainly breed in crops (Honek, , ) where they are unlikely to be subject to intensive competition from H. axyridis (Vandereycken et al ., ,b; Honek et al ., ). Very few C. quinquepunctata were recorded on trees during P2 and P3.…”

Abstract. 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. As the composition of adult communities varies with host plant and season, coccinellids were sampled in May-June from Acer, Betula and Tilia trees using a standardised sweeping method. This was done before (1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)) and after (2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)) the arrival of Harmonia axyridis in 2006, with interim samples from a period immediately before it arrived in the Czech Republic (2002Republic ( -2006.3. Twenty-one native species were identified in the total sample of 2674 adults. The abundance of Adalia bipunctata, Coccinella quinquepunctata and Propylea quatuordecimpunctata decreased over the whole period sampled. Declines in abundance of these species were already evident prior to the arrival of H. axyridis. Recent declines in Adalia decempunctata and Calvia quatuordecimguttata followed the arrival H. axyridis. Their abundance was increasing prior to the arrival of H. axyridis, but decreased following its invasion and the latter species might have affected their decline. The abundance of only one species, Calvia decemguttata, increased. Although the abundance of many species decreased and the frequency of some species varied, the diversity of native coccinellid populations (Shannon index) was similar over the 40 years of this study.4. The changes in species composition can in part be attributed to H. axyridis, the role of other factors (e.g. climate change, habitat degradation) in the long-term fluctuations in abundance of coccinellids should be considered in future assessments.

“…H. axyridis has been reported in all of these crops over Europe and America, as well as in urban landscapes. For example, in Belgium, Vandereycken et al (2013) reported that maize is one of the crops most affected. Some of the most abundant coccinellids in Spanish arable crops (that is, C. septempunctata, H. variegata and P. quatuordecimpunctata) move between alfalfa, winter cereals and maize to follow aphid populations and demonstrate clear patterns of relative abundance (Pons & Eizaguirre, 2009;di Lascio et al, unpublished data).…”

The multicoloured Asian ladybeetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), an invasive biocontrol agent introduced in North and South America, as well as in Europe for aphid control, drastically affected assemblages of native coccinellid species, local communities and people. Although the insect is common in several European countries and it was released in Spain for aphid control in 1995, no evidence of population establishment has been reported until 2011. In the present paper, 1) we summarize the records of the invasive ladybeetle in Spain and provide numerous new mentions, and 2) we follow for the first time an overwintering aggregation from autumn to spring and characterize some individual features which allow us to determine its phenology of the establishment and spreading. The results establish clearly that: 1) H. axyridis is (until now) restricted to Catalonia (NE Spain) but the invading process is in progress and the insect is able to occupy different habitats; 2) the ladybeetle overwinters successfully in Spain without significant natural mortality or parasitism; 3) the form succinea represents 73-81% of the overwintering individuals, and 4) the invasion takes probably its origin from Southern France. The potential impact of the invasion by H. axyridis in Spain is discussed.

“…In Belgium, 226 the population dynamics of H. axyridis in crop systems (wheat, corn, broad bean and potato crops) 227 was studied through field surveys. It has been shown that H. axyridis is recorded in such crops 7-8 228 days after the dominant native ladybirds (Jansen, Hautier 2008;Vandereycken et al 2013). A one-229 year study involving field observations in wheat and bean crops in southern England reported an 230 absence of H. axyridis in wheat (aphid abundance was reported as low), but presence of H. axyridis 231 co-occurring with other ladybirds in bean crops (Wells 2011).…”

Artículo de publicación ISIThe harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is native to Asia but has been intentionally introduced to many countries as a biological control agent of pest insects. In numerous countries, however, it has been introduced unintentionally. The dramatic spread of H. axyridis within many countries has been met with considerable trepidation. It is a generalist top predator, able to thrive in many habitats and across wide climatic conditions. It poses a threat to biodiversity, particularly aphidophagous insects, through competition and predation, and in many countries adverse effects have been reported on other species, particularly coccinellids. However, the patterns are not consistent around the world and seem to be affected by many factors including landscape and climate. Research on H. axyridis has provided detailed insights into invasion biology from broad patterns and processes to approaches in surveillance and monitoring. An impressive number of studies on this alien species have provided mechanistic evidence alongside models explaining large-scale patterns and processes. The involvement of citizens in monitoring this species in a number of countries around the world is inspiring and has provided data on scales that would be otherwise unachievable. Harmonia axyridis has successfully been used as a model invasive alien species and has been the inspiration for global collaborations at various scales. There is considerable scope to expand the research and associated collaborations, particularly to increase the breadth of parallel studies conducted in the native and invaded regions. Indeed a qualitative comparison of biological traits across the native and invaded range suggests that there are differences which ultimately could influence the population dynamics of this invader. Here we provide an overview of the invasion history and ecology of H. axyridis globally with consideration of future research perspectives. We reflect broadly on the contributions of such research to our understanding of invasion biology while also informing policy and people
