Abstract

The authors describe a method developed to assess which European ladybird species are most at risk following the invasion of H. axyridis. The 3 components of the risk assessment are:

  1. the likelihood that the assessed native species encounters H. axyridis in the field
  2. the hazard of competition for food
  3. the IGP hazard
