Harmonia axyridis in Europe: spread and distribution of a non-native coccinellid (2008, methodology): “A large-scale ladybird field survey (Coccinula––Belgian ladybird working group, http://www.inbo.be/content/page.asp?pid=EN_FAU_INS_LAD_start) was launched in 1999 in the Walloon region, and 2001 in the Flemish region (Adriaens et al. 2003).”
Harmonia axyridis in Great Britain: analysis of the spread and distribution of a non-native coccinellid (2008, background): “…or multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is native to Asia (e.g. Dobzhansky 1933; Kuznetsov 1997) and was introduced to North America and Europe to control pest aphid and coccid species on a range of crops (e.g. Adriaens et al. 2003; Koch 2003).”
Decline in native ladybirds in response to the arrival of Harmonia axyridis: early evidence from England (2011, background): “axyridis, and its impact on non-target species (Adriaens et al., 2003; Majerus et al., 2006; Roy et al., 2006).”
The global spread of Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): distribution, dispersal and routes of invasion (2011, methodology): “axyridis was first used as a biological control agent in 1982 in France and first marketed in 1995 (Coutanceau 2006), with various companies making the species commercially available (Adriaens et al. 2003).”
Ecology and biological control application of multicoloured Asian ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: A review (2006, background): “Among European countries, it has successfully established itself in Germany (Klausnitzer 2002; Tolasch 2002; Bathon 2003) and has heavily suppressed the indigenous coccinellid fauna in Belgium, where it is being regarded as a threat to the native aphid predators (Adriaens et al. 2003).”
The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: global perspectives on invasion history and ecology (2016, background): “Hatching rate in H. axyridis in different countries varied from 15 % in Belgium (Berkvens et al. 2008) to 100 % in Italy (unpublished data), although it has not been measured in most countries (Table 2).”
The potential impacts of the arrival of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), in Britain (2006, unknown): “Harmonia axyridis exemplifies this in North America and Belgium: as its population increases it is becoming progressively pestilent.”
Invasion history, habitat preferences and phenology of the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis in Belgium (2008, background): “axyridis in Belgium were discovered in 2001 (Adriaens et al. 2003).”
