“…Considering overall parasitism and predation and the high net reproductive of H. halys in the Emilia‐Romagna region (Costi, Haye, & Maistrello, ), our results suggest a low impact of the native natural enemies community in reducing populations of this invasive species in Northern Italy. This gap could be filled by introducing Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) (syn.…”

The invasive Halyomorpha halys (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) is a key pest of fruits in the Emilia‐Romagna region of Italy. For the development of a sustainable management programme, knowledge of its native natural enemy community and its efficacy is essential. A three‐year field survey was conducted exposing H. halys egg masses in different types of habitats to investigate the efficacy of native natural enemies in reducing the H. halys populations in the Emilia‐Romagna region, where the stinkbug was first detected in 2012. Over the first year of the study, sentinel eggs from laboratory cultures were stapled to the underside of leaves in various host trees, whereas in following years H. halys adults were directly caged on branches in sleeve cages to allow natural oviposition. Over the examined years, low rates of parasitism (1%–3%) and predation (2%–5%) were observed. Parasitism was caused exclusively by the generalist parasitoid Anastatus bifasciatus.

“…At temperatures below the lower thresholds, the reduced enzyme activity results in slower or negligibly low metabolic processes, which require substantial energy to repair injuries in insects, resulting in longer developmental times [69,70]. The high temperature thresholds of 36.5 and 35.76 • C were previously reported for the Swiss [44] and US (Pennsylvania; [47]) populations of H. halys. These estimates are based on models fit to the pest's phenology data but do not support H. halys egg-to-adult development below 17 • C or above 33 • C. In contrast, we provide empirical evidence at constant temperatures where a MN population of H. halys exhibited lower and upper developmental thresholds of 17 and 36 • C, respectively.…”

Temperature is a critical single factor influencing insect population dynamics, and is foundational for improving our understanding of the phenology of invasive species adapting to new agroecosystems or in the process of range expansion. An age-stage, two-sex life table was therefore developed to analyze fundamental demographic features such as development, survival, and reproduction of a Minnesota-acclimated population of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), in the north central USA. All salient life history parameters were estimated to better understand the population growth potential of H. halys at the current limit of its northern range in North America. We examined the effect of selected constant temperatures on immature development and survival (15–39 °C), adult reproduction and longevity (17–36 °C) of H. halys in the laboratory. The Minnesota population developed faster and survived at higher rates relative to a population that had previously established in Pennsylvania, USA. Mean generation time for the Minnesota population was minimized at 30 °C, while survival and fecundity were maximized at 27 and 23 °C, respectively. Given these findings, we assessed the effect of temperature on the intrinsic rate of increase ( r m ), the life table parameter that integrates the effects of temperature on development, survival, and reproduction. A Ratkowsky model predicted r m was maximized (0.0899) at 27.5 °C. We discuss the implications of our findings for understanding population growth rates for H. halys in the context of a warming climate, and potential to emerge as a serious crop pest in the Midwest U.S. region.

“…Eggs are laid in masses of 28 (median number), predominantly on the underside of leaves. Laboratory studies in the United States found an average of 9.3 egg masses in a lifetime (113), whereas European field studies estimated fecundity to range from 2 to 15 egg masses per female, with higher oviposition rates within the overwintered adult generation (33,48). During oviposition, females transfer symbionts to the egg chorion surface.…”

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 high reproductive output, potentially enabling its spread and success in invaded regions. A greater understanding of BMSB biology and ecology and its natural enemies, the identification of the male-produced aggregation pheromone, and the recognition that BMSB disperses into crops from adjacent wooded habitats have led to the development of behavior-based integrated pest management (IPM) tactics. Much is still unknown about BMSB, and continued long-term collaborative studies are necessary to refine crop-specific IPM programs and enhance biological control across invaded landscapes.
