The potential global distribution of the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, a critical threat to plant biosecurity

Successful management of Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in commercial apple orchards with an attract‐and‐kill strategy

“…In response, growers applied as much as four times more insecticide to ameliorate this damage . Since then, H. halys has become a problem in Canada and Europe, with a projected global distribution to result in range expansion into many more locations …”

Impacts of climate change and host plant availability on the global distribution of Brontispa longissima (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

“…GARP is used to characterize niches in environmental space by relating observed occurrence localities to a suite of environmental variables, ultimately constructing rules that describe the ecological niche of a species as conditions to assess areas where the species can survive . CLIMEX uses a set of fitted growth and stress functions to simulate the mechanisms underlying population growth and responses to climate to assess the potential distribution of a species . Differences in the models could explain the differences in results between the studies.…”

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in Malta

“…Bioclimatic models suggest that H. halys will be able to continue to expand from its current geographical range into the Southern Hemisphere, where regions with moist tropical, subtropical, Mediterranean and warm‐temperate climates appear to be at substantial risk from this bug (Kriticos et al ., ) (Fig. ).…”

“…During summer, adult H. halys are frequently capable of long‐distance flights of up to 100 km (Wiman et al ., ), which may be why this bug has managed to spread so rapidly in North America and Europe. It can certainly be transported over large distances via automotive and air transportation (Kriticos et al ., ), sea freight (Duthie, ) and through commerce in agricultural commodities.…”
