field trapping of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys, with geometric isomers of methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate.	the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål), is a polyphagous pest indigenous to northeastern asia where it damages various trees, vegetables, and leguminous crops. the bug was recently introduced into the u.s. and could potentially become a pest. in its native range, h. halys was reportedly attracted to the aggregation pheromone of the brown-winged green bug, plautia stali, methyl (2 e,4 e,6 z)-decatrienoate. we also observed that traps baited with this compound are attractive to h ...	2008	18069789
methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates attract stink bugs and tachinid parasitoids.	halyomorpha halys (stål) (pentatomidae), called the brown marmorated stink bug (bmsb), is a newly invasive species in the eastern usa that is rapidly spreading from the original point of establishment in allentown, pa. in its native range, the bmsb is reportedly attracted to methyl (e,e,z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate, the male-produced pheromone of another pentatomid common in eastern asia, plautia stali scott. in north america, thyanta spp. are the only pentatomids known to produce methyl 2,4,6-decatri ...	2007	17334917
effects of photoperiod, temperature and melatonin on nymphal development, polyphenism and reproduction in halyomorpha halys (heteroptera: pentatomidae).	influences of photoperiod, temperature and melatonin were examined on development and color patterns of nymphs, and sternum color and reproductive fate of adults in halyomorpha halys (brevis). short-day accelerated nymphal development, whereas long-day accelerated reproductive maturation. the two types of photoperiodic responses at different stages may help maintain the univoltinism of this species in the field, assuring the right timing for diapause and reproduction. the pronotum of fifth insta ...	2003	12951401
properties of a new picorna-like virus of the brown-winged green bug, plautia stali	a picorna-like virus was isolated from the brown-winged green bug, plautia stali. the virus was named plautia stali intestine virus (psiv) based on the multiplication site of the virus in the infected insects. psiv is a spherical particle with a diameter of 30 nm. particles of psiv were found to contain a 9.1-kb single-stranded rna. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified psiv particles revealed three major (33, 30, 26 kda), one medium (35 kda), and one minor (4.5 kda) structural proteins ...	1998	9500944
two pests overlap: drosophila suzukii (diptera: drosophilidae) use of fruit exposed to halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae).	drosophila suzukii (matsumura) (diptera: drosophilidae) and brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae), are global economic pests that may co-occur on small fruits. we investigated whether fruit recently exposed to h. halys affected subsequent host use by d. suzukii. laboratory no-choice and choice tests presented d. suzukii with h. halys-fed and unfed raspberries and blueberries immediately or 3 d after h. halys feeding. resulting d. suzukii eggs, or larvae a ...	0	28575326
evaluation of mature soybean pods as a food source for two pod-sucking bugs, riptortus pedestris (hemiptera: alydidae) and halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae).	riptortus pedestris (fabricius) and halyomorpha halys (stål) cause injury to soybeans by piercing and sucking pods and seeds. growers believe that new damage decreases near to harvest despite the occurrence of these bugs at that time. as this question has never been assessed, we evaluated two diets: a) mature soybean pods (dried shell + dried soybean seeds) and b) dried soybean seeds for the two bugs by assessing their biological, behavioral, and morphological attributes on each diet in laborato ...	0	28430798
seasonal abundance and phenology of halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) on different pepper cultivars in the mid-atlantic (united states).	the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål), is an invasive stink bug (hemiptera: pentatomidae) introduced into the united states in the mid-1990s. since its initial establishment, it has spread throughout the east coast as far south as georgia, and as far north as new hampshire. while information is available regarding h. halys behavior and life history in some crops, relatively little information is available for vegetables such as peppers. key questions include understanding when ...	0	28031472
frugivory by brown marmorated stink bug (hemiptera: pentatomidae) alters blueberry fruit chemistry and preference by conspecifics.	the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål), is an invasive pest from asia that feeds on many agricultural crops in the united states, including blueberries. yet, the effects of h. halys feeding on fruit chemistry and induced resistance to insects remain unknown. here we hypothesized that frugivory by h. halys changes fruit chemical composition, which in turn affects insect feeding behavior. in field experiments, blueberry fruit was either mechanically injured or injured by 0 (contr ...	0	27550164
seasonal abundance, host suitability, and feeding injury of the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (heteroptera: penatomidae), in selected vegetables.	the invasive brown marmorated stink bug,halyomorpha halys(stål) (heteroptera: penatomidae), is a major pest of agricultural crops in the mid-atlantic states. here we report the seasonal abundance, host preference, and injury potential ofh. halyson tomato, bell pepper, green bean, sweet corn, eggplant, and okra in a small-scale, diversified vegetable farm setting. life-stage densities, feeding injury, and crop phenology were monitored throughout the growing season in each crop. populations consis ...	0	27034113
host plant use by the invasive halyomorpha halys (stål) on woody ornamental trees and shrubs.	the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) is an invasive plant-feeding insect native to eastern asia. this herbivore is highly polyphagous, feeding on and damaging diverse plants, including field crops, vegetables, tree fruits, and ornamentals. woody ornamental plants provide early- and late-season resources for adults emerging from and returning to overwintering sites, as well as feeding and breeding sites for h. halys throughout the growing season. in t ...	0	26906399
characterizing damage of brown marmorated stink bug (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in blueberries.	brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae), is a severe economic pest of growing importance in the united states, canada, and europe. while feeding damage from h. halys has been characterized in tree fruit, vegetables, and agronomic crops, less is known about the impacts of stink bugs on small fruits such as blueberries. in this study, we examined h. halys feeding on two representative early and late ripening blueberry cultivars in oregon and new jersey. this ...	0	26470241
sunflower as a potential trap crop of halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in pepper fields.	the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål), feeds on a variety of fruits and vegetables, and is an economically important invasive hemipteran pest. trap cropping of h. halys was examined at the pennsylvania state university southeast agriculture research and extension center (searec) in lancaster co., pa, from 2012 to 2013, with sunflowers used as a trap crop to protect bell pepper. h. halys were observed frequently on sunflowers planted surrounding the pepper field, and in both ye ...	0	26331305
attraction of the invasive halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) to traps baited with semiochemical stimuli across the united states.	a recent identification of the two-component aggregation pheromone of the invasive stink bug species, halyomorpha halys (stål), in association with a synergist, has greatly improved the ability to accurately monitor the seasonal abundance and distribution of this destructive pest. we evaluated the attraction of h. halys to black pyramid traps baited with lures containing the pheromone alone, the synergist methyl (2e,4e,6z)-decatrienoate (mdt) alone, and the two lures in combination. traps were d ...	0	26313981
