Phylogenetic relationship and characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) [PDF]
Cheilomenes sexmaculata is a common natural enemy for aphid and psyllid in agricultural systems in South China. In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of C. sexmaculata.

Mitogenome evolution in ladybirds: Potential association with dietary adaptation. [PDF]
We sequenced for the first time three coccinellid mitogenomes. Six mitochondrial PCGs displayed signs of positive selection. Adaptive evolution of coccinellid mitogenomes is potentially associated with both dietary shifts and other life history traits. Abstract Dietary shifts can alter the relative availability of different nutrients and are therefore ...

Influence of Host Species, Location, and Aphid Prey on Microbial Diversity and Community Dynamics of Aphidophagous Ladybird Beetles in Guangxi, China [PDF]
Analyses of the 16S rRNA amplicons of several ladybirds and their aphid prey from various locations in Guangxi, China reveal the plasticity of microbial abundance in aphidophagous ladybirds across different ladybird species and locations. Additionally, aphid symbionts are sporadically detected in the corresponding predator ladybirds, indicating their ...
