Functional Responses of Coccinella undecimpunctata and Chrysoperla carnea to their Aphid Prey under Semi-Field Conditions [PDF]
Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2020 Understanding the interactions between predator and prey is the basis for creating a strategy for the biocontrol of aphids. One of the most informative methods to understand these interactions is the functional response. In this study, the predation efficiency, of the second-instars of Coccinella undecimpunctata L.

Ecological Entomology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 386-395, June 2020., 2020 The 5‐spot ladybird is specialised in pioneer habitats close to water, but broadens its range to include non‐riverine pioneer habitats in north‐west continental Europe. (Micro)climatic factors (in this case humidity) appear to be important in forming the habitat preferences of this and probably other predators that are not constrained by where their ...
