Název v původním jazyce

First Czech record of the Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) and a climatic prediction of its spread in the Czech Republic

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Asian or yellow-legged hornet Vespa velutina nigrithorax has been accidentally introduced into several European countries. This invasive species has an impact on entomofauna and plant biodiversity through reduction of pollinators as well as affects apiculture. We present the first record of the species in the Czech Republic, notes associated with this record, its COI barcode, and modelled potential distribution. A specimen of Vespa velutina nigrithorax was recorded in October 2023 in Pilsen city (West Bohemia, Czech Republic). The nest was traced by observing released individuals, detected on Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), and removed. The COI barcode confirmed the European origin of this nest. The species either followed natural routes from Bavaria (Germany) or was introduced by transportation. A species distribution model (Maxent) trained on European distribution showed that the western Czech Republic is more suitable for the species than its eastern parts, as the species likely prefers lower continentality. During 2024, Vespa velutina nigrithorax was also recorded in Hradek u Rokycan (West Bohemia, Czech Republic). Recently, these records represented an isolated occurrence in the Czech Republic, however further expansion of this invasive species is expected.
