Sarracenia carnivorous plants cannot serve as efficient biological control of the invasive hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax in Europe

Abstract: Vespavelutinanigrithorax, an invasive species, a direct result of increased trade and climate change, is spreading rapidly in Europe and endangering entomofauna in general and more alarmingly honeybee (Apismellifera) populations, and therefore their pollination services. All traps used now, to try to control this species, seem to be not efficient enough and non-selective. However, in the current context of massive disappearance of insects in general, it is urgent to find means of protection for the entomofauna… Show more

“…We hope that this method will be applied to study the ecology of other nest building Hymenoptera, including native and invasive species such as Asian hornets (Vespa velutina Lepeletier). Regarding the latter, better knowledge of their diet is essential to measure the ecological impact of their invasion and to ensure the conservation of native invertebrate biodiversity and the ecosystem services they provide (Cini et al 2018;Wycke et al 2018).…”
