A crowdsourcing approach to track the expansion of the brown marmorated stinkbug Halyomorpha halys (Stal, 1855) in France.

Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855), the brown marmorated stinkbug (BMSB) is a highly successful invasive species, native to eastern Asia. It has managed to spread into North America and Europe in recent decades, causing severe damage to various crops.

In 2012, we set up a citizen science survey to monitor BMSB expansion in France.

New information

The present crowdsourcing survey was initiated in 2012 and provided a large number of occurrence points of BMSB. These data allowed to track the expansion of the species in France from 2012 to 2019 and brought informa
