Brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål, is an invasive, herbivorous insect species that was accidentally introduced to the United States from Asia. First discovered in Allentown, PA, 1996, H. has now been reported at least 40 states States. Additional invasions have detected Canada, Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, and Lichtenstein, suggesting this invasive could emerge as a cosmopolitan pest species. In its native range, classified outbreak pest; however, North America,...
Since its initial discovery in Allentown, PA, USA, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has now officially been detected 38 states and District of Columbia USA.Isolated populations also exist Switzerland Canada.This Asian species quickly became a major nuisance pest mid-Atlantic USA region due to overwintering behavior entering structures.BMSB an extremely wide host range both native home invaded countries where it feeds on numerous tree...
Halyomorpha halys is an introduced stink bug species from Asia that spreading throughout the Mid-Atlantic United States. It native to South Korea, Japan, and eastern China, where it occasional pest of tree fruit, including apple pear. Cage experiments with adults placed on peach during critical plant growth stages demonstrate can cause damage developing fruit mid- late season periods feeding occurs all regions fruit. Feeding occurred pit hardening/mid-season final swell were apparent as at...
Abstract Host plant use by nymphs and adults of the nonnative species Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) was investigated proximal to location its introduction, Allentown, PA. The seasonality H. in United States had not been thoroughly studied before this work. It is reported have ≈300 host plants native range that could make control identification small populations difficult. Weekly beat samples were conducted beginning at petal fall (mid-April) Pyrus spp. until first frost...
Egg and nymphal development were studied under constant temperatures for the newly introduced pest species, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Development was assessed at seven (15-35 degrees C). to adult completed between 17 33 C, with egg hatch also occurring 15 C. The relationship temperature developmental rate evaluated using three models. Of models evaluated, Briere-1 model best fit empirical data of total providing accurate values threshold. Application linear...
Abstract The use of environmental DNA (eDNA) surveys to monitor terrestrial species has been relatively limited, with successful implementations still confined sampling from natural or artificial water bodies and soil. Sampling for eDNA depends on proximity availability water, whereas soil is limited in its spatial scale due the large quantities necessary processing difficulty doing so. These challenges limit widespread several systems, such as surveying forests invasive insects. We...
We developed an agent-based stochastic model expressing stage-specific phenology and population dynamics for insect species across geographic regions. used the invasive pentatomid, Halyomorpha halys, as organism because gaps in knowledge exist regarding its developmental physiology, it is expanding global distribution, of significant economic importance. Model predictions were compared against field observations over 3 years, parameter set that enables largest growth was applied to eight...
ABSTRACT Microplastics (MP) are contaminants of environmental concern partly due to plastics ability sorb and transport hydrophobic organic (HOC). The importance this “vector effect” is currently being debated in the scientific community. This debate largely ignores that co-exposures MP HOC mixtures hazardous agents, which can be addressed from a mixture toxicity perspective. In study, effects polyethylene microbeads triclosan (TCS) (a commonly used antibacterial agent cosmetics) were...

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura), an invasive pest of small and stone fruits, has been recently detected in 39 states the United States, Canada, Mexico, Europe. This attacks ripening fruit, causing economic losses including increased management costs crop rejection. Ongoing research aims to improve efficacy monitoring traps. Studies were conducted evaluate how physical trap features affect captures D. suzukii. We evaluated five colors, two bait surface areas, a top side position for fly entry...
The introduction of an invasive species into agroecosystem can alter both the interspecies dynamics and existing management practices. In area introduction, seasonality Halyomorpha halys (Stål) in soybean fields was investigated by comparing monitoring efficiency sweep net sampling two sizes pyramid traps baited with aggregation compound methyl (E,E,Z) 2,4,6-decatrienoate 2006-2007. large trap caught significantly higher densities H. than small samples each year. Adult males females were...
Abstract BACKGROUND The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), has emerged as a key pest in mid‐Atlantic peach production. Current management of H. disrupted IPM programs by relying exclusively on frequent, repeated, season‐long insecticide applications. We developed behaviorally‐based tactic termed IPM‐CPR (Crop Perimeter Restructuring) that utilizes border sprays for , groundcover Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) Miridae) and mating...
Human mediated transportation into novel habitats is a prerequisite for the establishment of non-native species that become invasive, so knowledge common sources may allow prevention. The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB, Halyomorpha halys) an East Asian now established across North America and Europe, in Eastern United States (US) Italy causing significant economic losses to agriculture. After US populations were shown originate from Northern China, others have tried source BMSB Canada,...
Reliable monitoring of the invasive Halyomorpha halys abundance, phenology and geographic distribution is critical for its management. adult nymphal captures on clear sticky traps in black pyramid were compared 18 states across Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Pacific Northwest Western regions United States. Traps baited with commercial lures containing H. pheromone synergist, deployed at field sites bordering agricultural or urban locations host plants. Nymphal greater than those...
A scintillation glass-vial bioassay was used to test technical grade insecticides against the non-native stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål). (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is emerging as an important pest in Mid-Atlantic States, especially tree fruits and a homeowner nuisance during winter. Pyrethroid insecticides, bifenthrin, caused mortality H. at low doses, with LC50 values of 0.03-0.49 (microg [AI]/cm2) (mg body mass(-1)). Three nicotinoids were tested adults ranging between 0.05 2.64...
Monitoring the distribution and abundance of an invasive species is challenging, especially during initial years spread when population densities are low basic biology monitoring methods being investigated. Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys (Stål)) agricultural urban pest that was first detected in United States late 1990s. At time its detection, no method available to effectively track H. populations, which highly mobile polyphagous. One possible solution utilization black light...
The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, a native of Asia, has become serious invasive pest in the USA. H. halys was first detected USA mid 1990s, dispersing to over 41 other states. Since 1998, spread throughout New Jersey, becoming an important agriculture, and major nuisance urban developments. In this study, we used spatial analysis, geostatistics, Bayesian linear regression investigate invasion dynamics colonization processes Jersey. We present results monitoring from 51 71...
