• Eating their way to the top? Mechanisms underlying the success of invasive insect generalist predators (2010, background): “Similarly, Alyokhin and Sewell (2004) analyzed a community of lady beetles inhabiting potato crops over 31 years in Maine.”
• The role of exotic ladybeetles in the decline of native ladybeetle populations: evidence from long-term monitoring (2015, background): “This trend suggests that native coccinellids did not benefit equally from the additional food resources provided by soybean aphid, and supports the assertion that H. axyridis is more adept at utilizing aphids in agricultural crops (Alyokhin and Sewell 2004).”
• The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: global perspectives on invasion history and ecology (2016, background): “Indeed declines of native ladybirds have been reported across the USA (Alyokhin and Sewell 2004; Bahlai et al. 2014; Colunga-Garcia and Gage 1998; Evans 2004; Harmon et al. 2007; Hesler and Kieckhefer 2008; Losey et al. 2014; Majerus et al. 2006; Wheeler Jr and Hoebeke 1995) and Europe (Roy et al. 2”
• Non-crop vegetation associated with chili pepper agroecosystems promote the abundance and survival of aphid predators (2013, unknown): “Such species may also negatively affect native populations due to their avoidance of prey-scarce habitats (facilitated by voracious feeding habits of H. axyridis ) and the likelihood of abandoning crop fields (Alyokhin and Sewell, 2004; Evans et al., 2011).”
• Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “For example, invasion of North America by the ladybird beetle Coccinella septempunctata was followed by rapid, marked declines in several native species, perhaps most dramatically for C. novemnotata and C. transversoguttata (Alyokhin & Sewell 2004, Elliott et al. 1996, Wheeler & Hoebeke 1995).”
• Landscape composition influences patterns of native and exotic lady beetle abundance (2009, background): “…Coccinella novemnotata Herbst, Coccinella transversoguttata richardsoni Brown, Cycloneda munda (Say) and Hippodamia tredecimpunctata (Say) have been documented in the USA (Wheeler & Hoebeke, 1995; Elliott et al., 1996; Colunga-Garcia & Gage, 1998; Alyokhin & Sewell, 2004; Losey et al., 2007).”
• Is the insect apocalypse upon us? How to find out (2020, methodology): “For example, changes in lady beetle populations have been monitored using control plots at experimental farms (Alyokhin and Sewell, 2004).”
• Bad side of a good beetle: the North American experience with Harmonia axyridis (2008, background): “…(L.)), has been associated with a numerical and/or proportional decline of some native coccinellid species in apple orchards (Brown and Miller 1998), citrus groves (Michaud 2002), potato fields (Alyokhin and Sewell 2004), and across an agricultural landscape (Colunga-Garcia and Gage 1998).”
• Invasive alien predator causes rapid declines of native European ladybirds (2012, background): “Although H. axyridis is an effective biological control agent in crop systems (Tedders & Schaefer, 1994; Brown & Miller, 1998; Alyokhin & Sewell, 2004; Heimpel et al., 2010), it is unclear whether it can fulfil all the functional roles of the species it is displacing.”
• Decline in native ladybirds in response to the arrival of Harmonia axyridis: early evidence from England (2011, background): “In Maine, U.S.A., aphids were substantially reduced after H. axyridis established in potato crops (Alyokhin & Sewell, 2004).”
• The decline of native coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in the United States and Canada (2007, background): “... 1976; Angalet et al. 1979; Turnock and Turnock 1979; Lee 1980; Dowell and Cherry 1981; Mareida et al. 1992; Elliott et al. 1996; LaMana and Miller 1996; Colunga-Garcia et al. 1997; Hoffmann et al. 1997; Brown and Miller 1998; Colunga-Garcia and Gage 1998; Boiteau et al. 1999; Cormier et al. 2000”
• Invasion history, habitat preferences and phenology of the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis in Belgium (2008, background): “Harmonia axyridis can induce dominance shifts in ladybird communities and often becomes the predominant species at the expense of native species (Lamana and Miller 1996; Brown and Miller 1998; Colunga-Garcia and Gage 1998; Burgio et al. 2002; Michaud 2002, 2004; Alyokhin and Sewell 2004).”
• Assessing the trophic ecology of the Coccinellidae: Their roles as predators and as prey (2009, background): “Populations of several coccinellid species endemic to North America and Europe have experienced steep declines in recent years, and exotic coccinellids released for biological control programs are implicated as causal agents based on abundant but circumstantial evidence (Elliott et al., 1996; Michau”
