Phylogeographic studies provide critical insight into the evolutionary histories of model organisms; yet, to date, range-wide data are lacking for the rough periwinkle Littorina saxatilis, a classic example of marine sympatric speciation. Here, we use mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence data to demonstrate that L. saxatilis is not monophyletic for this marker, but is composed of two distinct mtD...

The invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys, native to East Asia, is a severe agricultural pest of worldwide importance, and chemical insecticides are largely sprayed for its control. Negative impact failures management led consider classical biological control as one the most promising methods in long-term perspective. Asian egg parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus main candidate biocontrol agent H. b...

Some insects release scented compounds as a defense against predators that also exhibit antimicrobial activity. Trans-2-octenal and trans-2-decenal are the major alarm aldehydes responsible for the scent of Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug. Previous research has shown these aldehydes are antifungal and produce an antipredatory effect, but have never been tested for antibacteria...

Here we report the first detection of Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855) in Bordeaux vineyards. The species is native to Eastern Asia and was introduced France 2012. highly polyphagous causes significant damage various crops, including grapevines. From 2018 2020, Pentatomidae were collected vineyards region. In nymphs adults H. identified plot centres. study emphasizes need for field population mon...

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is a polyphagous species from eastern Asia, which has spread to America and Europe where it damages many crops. In recently colonized areas, facilitative interactions between H. halys native insects are poorly investigated. this study, we report for the first time facilitation of wasp ant feeding by in Europe. was related outflow plant exudates...

Abstract Adventive populations of Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) have been detected in the eastern and western United States including states Washington, Oregon, California, Utah. These may provide classical biological control for invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), which can cause economic loss to many specialty crops North America. Idaho has not previously surveyed ...
