corrigendum: coupling developmental physiology, photoperiod, and temperature to model phenology and dynamics of an invasive heteropteran, halyomorpha halys.[this corrects the article on p. 165 in vol. 7, pmid: 27242539.].201728808440
the consequences of sublethal exposure to insecticide on the survivorship and mobility of halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae).the direct lethal effects of conventional and organic insecticides have been investigated thoroughly for all life stages of halyomorpha halys. however, the sublethal effects of insecticides on the behavior of h. halys have not been well documented. our aims were to evaluate the impact of a brief 5 min exposure to residues of bifenthrin, dinotefuran, methomyl, thiamethoxam and thiamethoxam + λ-cyhalothrin on survivorship, horizontal and vertical movement, and flight capacity of adult h. halys und ...201727214606
climate change impacts on the potential distribution and abundance of the brown marmorated stink bug (hemiptera: pentatomidae) with special reference to north america and europe.the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål; hemiptera: pentatomidae), has recently emerged as a harmful pest of horticultural crops in north america and europe. native to east asia, this highly polyphagous insect is spreading rapidly worldwide. climate change will add further complications to managing this species in terms of both geographic distribution and population growth. this study used climex to compare potential h. halys distribution under recent and future climate ...201729069361
deltamethrin-incorporated nets as an integrated pest management tool for the invasive halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae).long-lasting insecticide nets (llins), which have insecticide incorporated within the fibers, have been widely used for control of malaria and other insect-vectored diseases. only recently have researchers begun exploring their use for control of agricultural pests. in this study, we evaluated the toxicity of a deltamethrin-incorporated llin, zerofly (vestergaard-frandsen, washington, dc) for control of the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål). in the lab, exposure to the zerofly ...201728334163
landscape factors influencing stink bug injury in mid-atlantic tomato fields.landscape structure and diversity influence insect species abundance. in agricultural systems, adjacent crop and non-crop habitats can influence pest species population dynamics and intensify economic damage. to investigate the influence of landscape factors on stink bug damage in agricultural systems, we assessed stink bug damage from 30 processing tomato fields in the mid-atlantic united states and analyzed landscape structure and geographic location. we found that forest shape and size, and g ...201728204617
identification of soybean host plant resistance to brown marmorated stink bugs in maturity group iii plant introductions.halyomorpha halys (stål; hemiptera: pentatomidae), brown marmorated stink bug (bmsb), is a polyphagous nonnative insect first found in the united states in 1996. as of 2017, bmsb has been detected in 43 states and is a severe agricultural pest in mid-atlantic states. on soybean, glycine max (l.) merr (fabales: fabaceae), damage from bmsb infestation ranges from puncture marks with seed discoloration and deformities to seed and pod abortion. host plant resistance has been used for managing pest p ...201729220502
temporal and directional patterns of nymphal halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae) movement on the trunk of selected wild and fruit tree hosts in the mid-atlantic region.halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) is an invasive and polyphagous herbivore that has been problematic in mid-atlantic fruit orchards, many of which are adjacent to woodlands containing its wild hosts. our tree census in woodlands bordering 15 mid-atlantic apple orchards revealed 47 species of deciduous trees and shrubs, 76.6% of which were recorded hosts of h. halys tree of heaven was most common and abundant overall. halyomorpha halys nymphs have a substantial walking dispersal ...201728082461
brown marmorated stink bug (hemiptera: pentatomidae) infestations in tree borders and subsequent patterns of abundance in soybean fields.the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (stål) (hemiptera: pentatomidae), is an important pest of soybean (glycine max l. merr.) in the mid-atlantic united states. in order to assess the influence of nonmanaged wooded borders on h. halys infestation patterns in soybean, 12 soybean fields in orange and madison counties, va, were sampled each week from july to october in 2013 or 2014 for h. halys. at each location, five 2-min visual counts of h. halys life stages were made on tr ...201728334171
nosema maddoxi sp. nov. (microsporidia, nosematidae), a widespread pathogen of the green stink bug chinavia hilaris (say) and the brown marmorated stink bug halyomorpha halys (stål).we describe a unique microsporidian species that infects the green stink bug, chinavia hilaris; the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys; the brown stink bug, euschistus servus; and the dusky stink bug, euschistus tristigmus. all life stages are unikaryotic, but analysis of the consensus small subunit region of the ribosomal gene places this microsporidium in the genus nosema, which historically has been characterized by diplokaryotic life stages. it is also characterized by having the ...201728984006
impact of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug in north america and europe: history, biology, ecology, and management.the brown marmorated stink bug (bmsb), halyomorpha halys (stål), is an invasive pentatomid introduced from asia into the united states, canada, multiple european countries, and chile. in 2010, bmsb populations in the mid-atlantic united states reached outbreak levels and subsequent feeding severely damaged tree fruit as well as other crops. significant nuisance issues from adults overwintering inside homes were common. bmsb is a highly polyphagous species with a strong dispersal capacity and hig ...201829068708
identification of volatiles released by diapausing brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys (hemiptera: pentatomidae).the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys, is an agricultural and urban pest that has become widely established as an invasive species of major concern in the usa and across europe. this species forms large aggregations when entering diapause, and it is often these aggregations that are found by officials conducting inspections of internationally shipped freight. identifying the presence of diapausing aggregations of h. halys using their emissions of volatile organic compounds (vocs) may ...201829342183
expansion of cytochrome p450 and cathepsin genes in the generalist herbivore brown marmorated stink bug.the brown marmorated stink bug (halyomorpha halys) is an invasive pest in north america which causes severe economic losses on tree fruits, ornamentals, vegetables, and field crops. the h. halys is an extreme generalist and this feeding behaviour may have been a major contributor behind its establishment and successful adaptation in invasive habitats of north america. to develop an understanding into the mechanism of h. halys' generalist herbivory, here we specifically focused on genes putativel ...201829347977
irritant contact keratitis caused by the bodily fluids of a brown marmorated stink bug.the brown marmorated stink bug is native to asia (china, taiwan, japan, and the korean peninsula). its bodily fluids are toxic and irritating to the human skin and eyes. human case reports are rare. only one report of irritant contact dermatitis has been published. we report a case of irritant contact keratitis resulting from the chemical components of the bodily fluids of the bug.201829296555
