effect of climate change on annual fluctuations in the population density of the brown marmorated stink bug (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in northern japan.the relationship between the population density of overwintering adults of the brown marmorated stink bug and the temperatures of each month during the preceding november to april was investigated in akita prefecture, northern japan, from 1999 to 2012. the number of adults entering traps for overwintering at the monitored hibernation site differed considerably among years. there was a significant negative correlation between the increase ratio (the ratio of the number collected in the current ye ...201324224257
a molecular diagnostic tool for the preliminary assessment of host-parasitoid associations in biological control programmes for a new invasive pest.evaluation of host-parasitoid associations can be tenuous using conventional methods. molecular techniques are well placed to identify trophic links and resolve host-parasitoid associations. establishment of the highly invasive brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae), outside asia has prompted interest in the use of egg parasitoids (hymenoptera: scelionidae) as biological control agents. however, little is known regarding their host ranges. to address this, a dna ...201424102670
efficacy of insecticide residues on adult halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) mortality and injury in apple and peach orchards.the primary threat from halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) originates from populations continuously dispersing from and among wild and cultivated hosts, so many individuals may not be directly sprayed with insecticides. limited information exists regarding field-based residual activity of insecticides for management of h. halys in tree fruit. thus, we conducted field-based bioassays in apple and peach orchards to evaluate residual activity of insecticides commonly applied against ...201424038921
use of black light traps to monitor the abundance, spread, and flight behavior of halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae).monitoring the distribution and abundance of an invasive species is challenging, especially during the initial years of spread when population densities are low and basic biology and monitoring methods are being investigated. brown marmorated stink bug (halyomorpha halys (stål)) is an invasive agricultural and urban pest that was first detected in the united states in the late 1990s. at the time of its detection, no method was available to effectively track h. halys populations, which are highly ...201323865219
does feeding by halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) reduce soybean seed quality and yield?the nonnative brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys stål (hemiptera: pentatomidae), has become an abundant pest of mid-atlantic soybean since its introduction in the mid-1990s. currently, there is little information indicating how this new pest should be managed in soybean or if economic thresholds developed for native stink bugs should be adjusted. in 2010 and 2011, field cage studies were conducted in beltsville, md, and suffolk, va, to evaluate h. halys injury to three different soybe ...201323865197
irritant contact dermatitis to the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys.the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys, is native to asia (china, taiwan, japan, and the korean peninsula). it was first found in allentown, pa, in 1996 and has since spread across wide areas of the eastern united states. as of october 2010, at least 26 states have reported the presence of the brown marmorated stink bug. it is considered an invasive species, and to the best of scientific knowledge, it was accidently introduced into the united states through transportation of goods fro ...201522828257
potential geographic distribution of brown marmorated stink bug invasion (halyomorpha halys).the brown marmorated stink bug (bmsb), halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae), native to asia, is becoming an invasive species with a rapidly expanding range in north america and europe. in the us, it is a household pest and also caused unprecedented damage to agriculture crops. exploring its climatic limits and estimating its potential geographic distribution can provide critical information for management strategies. methodology/principals: we used direct climate comparisons to exp ...201222363595
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 ...200818069789
attraction of halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) haplotypes in north america and europe to baited traps.halyomorpha halys is a global invasive species, native to southeast asia, that is threatening agriculture in invaded regions. our objectives were to: 1) establish the attractiveness of semiochemical stimuli paired with field-deployed traps in europe (greece, hungary, italy, and switzerland), compared with maryland, usa, and 2) identify h. halys haplotypes recovered from traps at each location. we found qualitatively identical patterns of capture between sites located across europe and in marylan ...201729208930
an exotic parasitoid provides an invasional lifeline for native parasitoids.the introduction of an exotic species may alter food webs within the ecosystem and significantly affect the biodiversity of indigenous species at different trophic levels. it has been postulated that recent introduction of the brown marmorated stinkbug (halyomorpha halys (stål)) represents an evolutionary trap for native parasitoids, as they accept h. halys egg masses as a host but produce no viable progeny. interspecific interactions between european egg parasitoid, trissolcus cultratus (mayr), ...201728070291
effectiveness of glues for harmonic radar tag attachment on halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) and their impact on adult survivorship and mobility.we evaluated the effectiveness of three cyanoacrylate glues (trade names: krazy [elmer's products inc., westerville, oh], loctite [henkel corporation, rocky hill, ct], and fsa [barnes distribution, cleveland, oh]) to attach harmonic radar tags securely on adult halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) and quantified the effect of the radar tag attachment on insect survivorship and mobility. in the laboratory, the strength of the glue bond between the radar tag and h. halys pronotum was ...201323726060
impact of insecticide residue exposure on the invasive pest, halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae): analysis of adult mobility.twenty eight insecticides were evaluated in the laboratory to characterize the impact of specific compounds on locomotory behavior and mobility of adult halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae). horizontal distance and angular velocity were measured for individuals exposed to dry insecticide residue for 4.5 h to evaluate how quickly and intensely a given insecticide induced changes in motor activities in no-choice glass arenas. eight out of nine pyrethroid insecticides induced uncoordi ...201323448027
impact of insecticides on the invasive halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae): analysis of insecticide lethality.the efficacy of 37 insecticide treatments against adult halyomorpha halys (stål) was established based on exposure to 18-h old dry insecticide residue in laboratory bioassays. individual adult h. halys were exposed to an insecticide residue for 4.5 h and then monitored daily for survivorship over a 7-d period. the proportion of dead and moribund insects was used as an estimate of overall insecticide efficacy against h. halys immediately after the exposure period and over the 7-d trial. among all ...201223156170
