There is growing realisation that integrating genetics and ecology is critical in the context of
biological invasions, since the two are explicitly linked. So far, the focus of ecological …

This chapter reviews the effects of alien terrestrial arthropods on the economy, society and

Decline in native ladybirds in response to the arrival of Harmonia axyridis: early evidence
from England Page 1 Ecological Entomology (2011), 36, 231–240 DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2311.2011.01264.x …

Abstract The coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) has been used for augmentative and
classical biological control in many environments. More recently it has invaded large parts of …

We review the chemical ecology of the ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis from the
perspective of its invasiveness and the deleterious effects it exerts in the regions it has …

Invasive alien predators are a serious threat to biodiversity worldwide. However, there is no
generic method for assessing which local species are most at risk following the invasion of a …

Resource competition and intra‐guild predation (IGP) are important determinants of the
structure of aphidophagous guilds. The likelihood and outcome of IGP is influenced by the …

Simple Summary The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, is an Asian species that has
invaded Europe and other continents, where it is suspected to cause the decline of native …

1. The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, is an invasive alien species that arrived in
Britain in 2003 and has spread across most of the country. 2. This spread has been …

The two-spotted lady beetle, Adalia bipunctata L., displays warning colouration that is
reinforced by the production of adaline and adalinine. These alkaloids are thought to …
