• Interactions between the fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana and three species of coccinellid: Harmonia axyridis, Coccinella septempunctata and Adaliabipunctata (2008, background): “In contrast, C. septempunctata has different habitat preferences for oviposition, larval development and pupation (usually herbaceous layer) and often overwinters under leaf litter or in soil (Majerus 1994; Majerus et al. 2006).”
• Invasive alien predator causes rapid declines of native European ladybirds (2012, background): “Harmonia axyridis is a large and voracious predator that threatens biodiversity because it out-competes and displaces native ladybirds and other aphidophagous insects (Majerus et al., 2006; Brown et al., 2011; Roy et al., 2011a,b).”
• Recent non‐native invertebrate plant pest establishments in Great Britain: origins, pathways, and trends (2007, background): “Species that may have colonized Britain naturally from a region where they had been introduced by humans (e.g. harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis ; Majerus et al. , 2006 ) were considered as having entered through human assistance, and termed ‘indirect introductions’.”
• 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”
• From biological control to invasion: the ladybird Harmonia axyridis as a model species (2008, background): “First and foremost, H. axyridis threatens the diversity of native aphidophagous species through direct competition and as a voracious, polyphagous predator (Majerus et al. 2006).”
• Harmonia axyridis in Great Britain: analysis of the spread and distribution of a non-native coccinellid (2008, background): “It is not known to have been deliberately introduced to Great Britain, but arrived by various means, including flight and on produce from mainland Europe and in packing cases from Canada (Majerus et al. 2006a; Roy et al. 2005).”
• Intraguild predation of immature stages of British and Japanese coccinellids by the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis (2008, unknown): “The establishment and spread of the invasive coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Britain (Brown et al. 2007) has provoked concerns for native ecosystems centred on aphids (Majerus et al. 2006).”
