“…Thus, it is plausible that our findings for the Minnesota-acclimated population are most indicative of the H1 haplotype of H. halys. However, additional haplotype analysis with samples from north-central US populations, including Minnesota, are warranted to fully ascertain their genetic identity [50,77,78]. Irrespectively, our results add new information on temperature-dependent longevity and fecundity of H. halys, which is in its early phase of local adaptation and establishment in the MN.…”

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.

“…Further analyses using other molecular markers and expanding collection sites in their native area will help to improve knowledge of the genetic variability of this parasitoid and delineate its patterns of invasion in Europe. This kind of study has already been performed with H. halys [27][28][29][50][51][52], showing high genetic variability in invaded areas and suggesting multiple introduction events.…”

Sustainable strategies such as classical or augmentative biological control are currently being evaluated for the long-term management of the alien invasive pest Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). A three-year study carried out in northeastern Italy was performed to investigate the distribution and field performance of the H. halys egg parasitoid Trissolcus mitsukurii (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae), in comparison with other parasitoid species. In the study area, adventive populations of T. mitsukurii were present since 2016, representing the earliest detection of this species in Europe. Trissolcus mitsukurii was the most abundant parasitoid and showed a higher “parasitoid impact” (i.e., number of parasitized eggs over the total number of field-collected eggs) compared to the other species, i.e., Anastatus bifasciatus (Geoffroy) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) and Trissolcus kozlovi Rjachovskij (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). The hyperparasitoid Acroclisoides sinicus (Huang and Liao) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) was also recorded. Phylogenetic analysis of T. mitsukurii population distinguished two clades, one covering samples from Italy, Japan and China, the other from South Korea. The present study provides promising results for the biological control of a pest that is having a dramatic impact on a wide range of crops worldwide.

“…The founder effect was particularly strong in H. halys populations in North America where initially just one to two haplotypes were described in the USA (Gariepy et al ., 2014; Xu et al ., 2014) and just three haplotypes in Canada (Gariepy et al ., 2014; Valentin et al ., 2017). Although the number of haplotypes in North America increased likely because of additional introductions (Morrison et al ., 2017; Valentin et al ., 2017; Lee et al ., 2018; Kapantaidaki et al ., 2019), genetic diversity of H. halys in North America is still limited with a maximum of five haplotypes described (Valentin et al ., 2017). Similarly, the number of haplotypes in various European countries is low, especially in Romania (one haplotype), Hungary (two haplotypes), France (three haplotypes) and Switzerland (four haplotypes) (Gariepy et al ., 2015; Morrison et al ., 2017; Valentin et al ., 2017; Cesari et al ., 2018; Lee et al ., 2018).…”

“…In particular, the use of molecular and population genetic tools has shown to provide substantial information about the reconstruction of invasion routes. Several studies have described the invasion history and genetic diversity of H. halys using molecular tools with a particular focus on various mitochondrial regions (Cesari et al ., 2014, 2018; Gariepy et al ., 2014; Xu et al ., 2014; Zhu et al ., 2016; Valentin et al ., 2017; Lee et al ., 2018; Kapantaidaki et al ., 2019).…”

Here we focus on the genetic diversity of H. halys in South Tyrol (Northern Italy).…”

The brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys is one of the most harmful invasive species in the world. Native to East Asia, this insect was introduced into North America in the 1990s and into Europe in the 2000s where it subsequently established and spread across the continent. Previous population genetic studies determined the invasion pathways at continental and national levels. However, information on the dynamics on a small-scale is currently scarce. Here we study the genetic diversity and population dynamics of H. halys in South Tyrol, a region in Northern Italy, since its arrival to its widespread establishment over a period of four years. By haplotyping 162 individuals from ten populations (including six previously published individuals) we found a high haplotype diversity in most populations with an increasing diversity across the different years. Most haplotypes were previously found in other regions of Northern Italy, providing evidence for migration from neighboring regions. However, the presence of four previously undescribed haplotypes as well as a haplotype previously found exclusively in Greece highlights additional long-distance dispersal across the continent. Phylogenetic analysis of the haplotypes found in South Tyrol showed that the majority of haplotypes clustered with haplotypes predominantly found in Japan. This suggests a potential recent introduction of H. halys individuals from Japan into Europe, and thus an additional invasion pathway that was previously unidentified.
