Stage specific consumption and utilization of aphids, conspecific and heterospecific eggs by two species of Coccinella (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2014
The nutritive quality of aphids, conspecific and heterospecific eggs as food for ladybirds is a controversial issue. If ladybirds find aphids more palatable than eggs then they are more likely to efficiently exploit and be biocontrol agents of aphids. If

Phylogenetic Analyses of True Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) Reveal Directionality in Diet Evolution and Support a Boreotropical Origin of the Tribe

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
A newly generated large‐scale molecular phylogeny of true ladybirds (Coccinellini) clarifies their evolutionary relationships and supports a boreotropical origin in the Paleocene, with multiple independent southward dispersals. Ancestral diet reconstructions suggest an initial specialization on aphids, followed by expansions in host range and ...

Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 773-785, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Fates of Rare Species under Siege from Invasion: Persistence of Coccinella novemnotata Herbst in Western North America alongside an Invasive Congener

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2017
Species invading new geographic regions may threaten continued existence of similar, indigenous relatives, particularly those species whose rarity may reflect an already tenuous existence.

Sex‐Specific doublesex Regulation Targeting the Color‐Patterning Gene h Underlies the Evolution of Wing Sexual Dimorphism in the Harlequin Ladybug Harmonia axyridis

Evolution &Development, Volume 28, Issue 1, March 2026.
doublesex regulates sexual dimorphism in elytral color patterns of Harmonia axyridis by downregulating the color patterning gene h in males. This regulatory link diverged in derived color morphs, coinciding with the loss of sex‐specific elytral color patterns.

The ant-associations and diet of the ladybird Coccinella magnifica (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2002
The ladybird Coccinella magnifica is typically considered to be myrmecophilous, and primarily associated with the Formica rufa group of wood ants. It is regularly associated with ants of the F. rufa group in north-western Europe. The very limited data on

Gut Microbe‐Driven Resistance Mechanisms in Propylea Japonica: Insights from Horizontal Gene Transfer and Oxidative Phosphorylation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
Acinetobacter regulates dinotefuran tolerance in Propylea japonica by mediating the expression of the horizontally transferred gene PjDUF1. Abstract Insect–microbial symbiont relationships are widespread in nature and often involve lateral gene transfer.
