• Invasive alien predator causes rapid declines of native European ladybirds (2012, methodology): “…(probability of occupancy), rather than the modelled scale (logit). ht tp :// do c. re ro .c h this time, the aphids, the main prey of H. axyridis, are in decline, and so alternative prey including the immature stages of other insects such as H. sedecimguttata is consumed (Brown et al., 2011).”
• The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: global perspectives on invasion history and ecology (2016, background): “It is thought to be established in limited areas of the latter, but not the former (Brown et al. 2011b).”
• The global spread of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): distribution, dispersal and routes of invasion (2011, background): “Further examples of the potential for large numbers of a coccinellid to be transported anthropogenically were provided by Minchin (2010) and Brown et al. (2011b), who each reported several thousand C. septempunctata being transported on ships, from South America to northern Africa in the former…”
• Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents (2011, unknown): “…have been developed and implemented during a number of studies (e.g. Boivin et al. 2006; Bale et al. 2008), but dispersal studies have been conducted rarely and methods are still not fully developed for different types of agents (Babendreier et al. 2005; Mills et al. 2006; Brown et al. 2011b).”
• Insect Declines in the Anthropocene. (2020, background): “A special case, where there are ample data, is the competitive displacement of native lady beetles by exotic species introduced for biocontrol purposes (5, 16, 53, 70).”
• The decline of moths in Great Britain: a review of possible causes (2013, background): “The impact of new predators is even more poorly understood, with species such as Harmonia axyridis harlequin ladybird and the parasitic fly Sturmia bella spreading rapidly and having the potential to impact on moth populations as well as other insects (Brown et al., 2011; Gripenberg et al., 2011).”
• Ecological Impacts of Alien Species: Quantification, Scope, Caveats, and Recommendations (2015, background): “For example, the observed decline of native ladybird beetle species in arboreal habitats in the UK after invasion by the alien ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis is also correlated with changes in maximum temperature and rainfall among years (Brown et al. 2011).”
