Enhanced Degradation of Juvenile Hormone Promotes Reproductive Diapause in the Predatory Ladybeetle Coccinella Septempunctata. [PDF]
Improved knowledge on the regulation of reproductive diapause in Coccinella septempunctata, an important predator of aphids, is crucial for improving shelf-life and mass production of the ladybeetles. In many insects, the absence of juvenile hormone (JH)
