To attract mates, several coleopteran taxa release volatile sex pheromones via a behaviour termed calling. We studied a postulated calling behaviour in the seven‐spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata L. for the first time. We also investigated the effects of immediate mating history and the presence of conspecifics on calling behaviour.

ABSTRACT Leptinotarsa decemlineata even in organic potatoes, it is often managed using pesticides. Mulching potatoes represents an alternative to reduce egg masses and larvae of L. decemlineata. In three 4‐fold replicated field trials with unmulched control plots (a) in comparison to plots mulched with grass‐clover (b) or triticale‐vetch (c) the ...

Male-killing bacteria in insects: mechanisms, incidence and implications [PDF]
Bacteria that are vertically transmitted through female hosts and kill male hosts that inherit them were first recorded in insects during the 1950s. Recent studies have shown these "male-killers" to be diverse and have led to a reappraisal of the biology

Sexual activity in Coccinellidae (Coleoptera): a review [PDF]
Although there are few studies of the sexual life of coccinellids these phenomena have attracted the interest of isolated groups of coccinellidologists. Probably the most important finding is that at least some coccinellid species (Adalia bipunctata and Harmonia axyridis) do not mate at random with the females prefering certain males.

Potential expanded pollinator distributions in North America under future climate
Most pollinator species, including monarch butterflies, may gain potential climate space in the future. Shifting to new locations is an additional challenge of climate change. Management, restoration and citizen participation to provide resources and reduce stressors are ecological solutions.
