- Title
Regional Concurrent Outbreaks of Ash Leaf Curl Aphid, Prociphilus fraxinifolii (Riley) (Hemiptera: Aphididae: Eriosomatinae), and the Invasive Predator, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Cocinellidae), in Northeastern Mexico.

- Abstract
The article presents a study of the dynamics of native and invasive sympatric lady beetles, focusing on the regional concurrent outbreaks of ash leaf curl aphid or Prociphilus fraxinifolii (P. fraxinifolii) and the invasive predator Harmonia axyridis and their implications for pests' biological control in Northeastern Mexico. It suggests that the regional outbreak of ash leaf curl aphid can be a significant prey for coccinellids.
