 ===== Introduction =====
-The predator [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonia_axyridis|harlequin ladybird]] has been introduced as a pest control in many parts of the world, but became a pest itself. These beetles proved to be very sucessfull invaders that outcompetes local species of ladybirds in North America and Europe.

 Vilcinskas //et al//. (2013) proposed that harlequins carry high loads of a parasitic fungus that does not harm them seriously. Nevertheless, the fungus is highly noxious to native species of ladybirds that got infected as they attack harlequin's eggs, imatures and adults.

 ==== Suggested questions ====
   * Is coexistence of intraguild predators posible?
-  * Does the proposed effect of harlequins always impairs coexistence?
+  * Does the proposed effect of invasive harlequins always impairs coexistence?
   * Should the dynamics of the transmission of fungus be included in the model?
