“…Similar to the European parasitoids, North American Trissolcus species are also capable of developing on frozen H. halys egg masses (Gariepy, unpublished). From an ecological perspective, H. halys could operate as an evolutionary trap not only for North American but also for European indigenous egg parasitoids as suggested by Abram et al (2014a). Native stink bug populations could profit from the decrease of parasitoid populations and become more important pests.…”

“…The patch exploition behaviour was separated in the following categories: (a) inspection of host egg (''drumming'') (b) adoption of oviposition posture (folding up wings and adjusting ovipositor), (c) insertion of ovipositor (''drilling''), (d) marking of parasitized egg with pheromone and (e) guarding of egg mass (see Field 1998;Abram et al 2014a). The marking of eggs was used as an indicator for successful oviposition (Colazza et al 1996;Field 1998).…”

“…The marking of eggs was used as an indicator for successful oviposition (Colazza et al 1996;Field 1998). The oviposition attempts were categorised modifying the definitions of Abram et al (2014a): (a) successful oviposition (adoption of oviposition posture, followed by drilling and marking) = ''acceptance'', (b) rejection (adoption of oviposition posture, followed by drilling, but no marking) and (c) superparasitism (more than one successful oviposition in the same egg). Eggs which were rejected at the first encounter were frequently revisited and subsequently parasitized by the same female.…”

Can native egg parasitoids adopt the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), in Europe?

Halyomorpha halys was accidentally introduced into Switzerland around 2004 and has recently spread to several additional areas in Europe, with established populations documented in France, Italy, Greece and Hungary. To test whether generalist egg parasitoids of European Pentatomidae have the potential to control H. halys, and whether these could be as effective as their related Asian species, sentinel egg masses of H. halys and six native European pentatomids were exposed in two regions of Switzerland. Freeze-killed sentinel egg masses of H. halys were attacked by the platygastrid Trissolcus cultratus and the eupelmid Anastatus bifasciatus, whereas fresh egg masses of native Pentatomidae occassionally yielded four Scelionidae species: Trissolcus semistriatus, T. scutellaris, T. cultratus and Telenomus chloropus. In no-choice tests, T. chloropus and T. semistratus produced no offspring from fresh H. halys eggs, whereas T. cultratus and T. scutellaris were sporadically able to complete development. Stopping embryogenesis by freezing egg masses of H. halys at -80°C enabled T. cultratus and T. semistriatus to produce a high number of offspring without influencing the behaviour of the parasitoids. In contrast to European platygastrids, the Asian parasitoids Trissolcus japonicus and T. cultratus (Chinese strain) caused significantly higher parasitism of fresh H. halys eggs. Differences in developmental success may be related to less efficient venom of European scelionids injected during oviposition. To date, A. bifasciatus is the only potential candidate for augmentaive biological control of H. halys in Europe as it was the only European parasitoid capable of consistent, successful development on fresh H. halys eggs.

“…In the long run, this may result in increased population levels of native pentatomids due to lower natural enemy pressure. The potential for H. halys to act as an evolutionary trap for native parasitoids has also been suggested with Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) in North America (Abram et al 2009). …”

Range expansion of the invasive brown marmorated stinkbug, Halyomorpha halys: an increasing threat to field, fruit and vegetable crops worldwide

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), has emerged as a harmful invasive insect pest in North America and Europe in the 1990s and 2000s, respectively. Native to eastern Asia, this highly polyphagous pest ([120 different host plants) is spreading rapidly worldwide, notably through human activities. The increasing global importance of the pest suggests that more coordinated actions are needed to slow its spread and mitigate negative effects in invaded areas. Prevention of large-scale outbreaks will require accurate identification and effective mitigation tools to be rapidly developed and widely implemented. In this short review, we update the current distribution of H. halys, discuss potential geographic range expansion based on passive and active dispersal and provide insight on the economic, environmental and social impact associated with H. halys.

“…The pentatomid bug Halyomorpha halys is an Asian pest of orchard fruits that has now become very common in parts of North America and is expected to expand its range further and to continue to cause economic losses in Canada and the United States. Within that range the native Telenomus podisi (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) is a widespread polyphagous parasitoid of pentatomid eggs, and trials showed that female wasps readily accepted newly laid eggs of H. halys for oviposition (Abram et al 2014 ). Although some offspring reached their pupal stage within host eggs, none completed development.…”
