“…The presence of Sphodromantis here sets up the first meeting point with Hierodula and their interaction should be evaluated in the near future. This should be evaluated also in Provence where this latter genus is present with the species H. patellifera Serville 1839 (Moulin, 2020). This appears to be a good time for these mantids to spread and increase their distribution, but while Hierodula arrived from far eastern countries, Sphodromantis was already present in the Mediterranean, so why now?…”

“…During the last few years, the mantid populations in the Euro-Mediterranean area have significantly changed. From one side the commercial routes from Asia to Europe have been used by at least two species of Giant Asian Mantids: Hierodula tenuidentata (Saussure, 1869) and H. patellifera (Serville, 1839) to spread in Europe (Battiston et al, 2018(Battiston et al, , 2020Moulin, 2020, Schwarz & Ehrmann, 2018 creating well-settled populations in different countries. If H. patellifera appears now well settled in northern Italy and Provence, H. tenuidentata is spreading fast in the Balkans reaching most of the Greek islands and northern Italy.…”

The first presence records of the Giant African Mantis Sphodromantis viridis(Forskål, 1775) (Insecta Mantoidea) are reported for Sicily and Greece, with new evidences on the human-mediated spreading of this species in the Mediterranean area. In Greece, Sphodromantis viridismeets the distribution of the Giant Asian Mantis Hierodula tenuidentata (Saussure, 1869), andthese two mantids have been recorded together in the same locality. Some single records fromFrance and Corsica also open the possible expansion of this species in more northern regions.These different spreading dynamics, taking place in the Mediterranean area, in a fast-evolvingscenario, are here discussed.

“…During the last few years, some mantids species have drawn the attention of specialists and the media in Europe as new alien species. This role, even if not common, is not new for this order of insects at a global level (Gurney 1951, Anderson 2018, Howarth and Mull 1992, Ramsay 1984, but has been encountered in Europe as a fast evolving scenario (Marabuto 2014, Battiston et al 2017, Battiston et al 2019, Schwarz and Ehrmann 2018, Moulin 2020. Some of the new European aliens have arrived from other countries or even continents (e.g.…”

The presence of the Indochina mantis Hierodula patellifera (Mantidae, Mantinae) as a new alien species in Italy is reported, with the description of the first stable macro-population in Europe. This macro-population shows a wide distribution, comprising several fragmented and reproducing sub-populations in Northern Italy and one in Southern France. Specimens and individuals were collected or observed on trees and ornamentals in urban ecosystems with the help of citizen science. A spatial analysis (Average Nearest Neighbour) was undertaken to characterise the present distribution pattern, evidencing the hot spots of arrival and the local spreading process. The random pattern of presence in the local urban textures and the resistance of this species to the challenging North Italian climate, are here discussed in the perspective of a future expansion to central and Northern Europe, using probably the main railways to arrive at depots and cities, travelling with Asian goods. Identification characters are also presented to separate this alien species from the other species of the subfamily Mantinae, native or introduced, present in Europe. ‡ § | ¶ ¶ #

“…Nowadays, ecology relies on data science through most of its research areas (Hirzel et al 2002;Moulin 2020). Distribution modeling has been considered as an important technique to formalize the link between the species and their geographical surroundings, in particular, to quantify the parameters which govern their presence (Peterson et al 2007;Abutaleb et al 2019).…”

Background Egypt forms a home for the highest number of recorded Mantodea species of the Palaearctic Region. The status and ecology of such diversity are far from being completely understood. Main body Through this study, the similarity of Mantodea species composition among Egyptian ecological zones has been examined by using the Sørensen-Dice coefficient, beside the calculation of species richness for each zone. Also, maximum entropy (Maxent) modeling was used to estimate the potential distribution of Mantodea species throughout the country. Three topographical and 19 bioclimatic variables have been used to estimate the current status of all Mantodea species in Egypt. The collected materials of adult mantis have been used to analyze the seasonality of 14 Egyptian common genera. Our results indicated that there was a high faunal similarity between the Western and Eastern deserts, the coastal strip, and the lower Nile valley. The lowest similarity was between Gebel Elba and all other zones. The analysis of habitat suitability of Mantodea in Egypt was fragmentary and focused on different distinct ecological zones. Altitude was the most effective ecological factor that affected Mantodea distribution as a group. Analysis of seasonality data of the common genera of Mantodea indicated that all are found in summer except for Miomantis, Severinia, and Sinaiella. Conclusion Our results can be used as a basis for future studies of the ecology of certain species and conservation of this interesting group in Egypt.
