Chronology of the worldwide spread of a parthenogenetic beetle, Reesa vespulae (Milliron, 1939) (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)

Reesa vespulae (Milliron, 1939) is a parthenogenetic synanthropic subcosmopolitan dermestid pest native to the Nearctic region. The chronology (1942–2020) of its spread outside its native range, its general distribution and ecology are summarized and discussed. Its spread is likely to be the result...
