Climate change increases the risk of invasion by the Yellow-legged hornet (2013, methodology): “We used the same eight climatic variables as in Villemant et al. (2011a) for the niche modelling, as they proved efficient to model the species distribution.”
Vespa velutina: a new invasive predator of honeybees in Europe (2013, background): “On average, three times more males seem to be produced from mid-September to end November (on average 350 gynes vs. 900 males; Villemant et al. 2011b).”
A 40‐year, continent‐wide, multispecies assessment of relevant climate predictors for species distribution modelling (2014, background): “…er va y D iv er si ty a nd D is tr ib ut io ns 2008; Vega et al., 2010), to predict species’ invasion and proliferation (Broennimann & Guisan, 2008; Villemant et al., 2011), to discover new populations or unknown species (Raxworthy et al., 2003; Bourg et al., 2005; Guisan et al., 2006), to…”
Options for the biological and physical control of Vespa velutina nigrithorax (Hym.: Vespidae) in Europe: A review (2018, background): “The nematode Pheromermis vesparum (Villemant et al., 2015) was discovered in two locations in France infecting V. velutina.”
Massively Introduced Managed Species and Their Consequences for Plant–Pollinator Interactions (2017, background): “The Asian Hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax is an invasive species in Europe that mainly preys upon A. mellifera individuals (Villemant et al., 2006, 2011a).”
Caste differentiation and seasonal changes in Vespa velutina (Hym.: Vespidae) colonies in its introduced range (2015, background): “According to niche modelling, the invasion may reach most European countries (Villemant et al. 2011) and could be aggravated by climate change (Barbet-Massin et al. 2013).”
Ecological effects and management of invasive alien Vespidae (2011, background): “The recent introduction and establishment of V. velutina in France represents the first successful invasion of an exotic Vespidae into Europe (Rasplus et al. 2010).”
