Sexual calling behaviour, and the effects of immediate mating history and consexual presence in the seven‐spot ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 5, Page 393-402, May 2025.
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.

open access: yes, 2009
The miscanthus mealybug, Miscanthicoccus miscanthi (Takahashi) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), is newly reported as prey for the lady beetle Hyperaspis paludicola Schwarz (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) at the Regan National Airport, Washington, DC (northern ...

Interactions between the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana and the Neotropical predator Eriopis connexa (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): Implications in biological control of pest

open access: yes, 2018
Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) are serious pests of crops causing direct damage by feeding and indirect by the transmission of plant viruses. The use of conventional insecticides for controlling aphids has caused different problems and insecticide ...

Agroecological Pest Control Through Mulch in Potatoes—Delayed Population Development of Leptinotarsa decemlineata

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 573-582, May 2025.
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 ...

Leucopis annulipes larvae (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) use a furtive predation strategy within aphid colonies

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine whether the predation strategy of larvae of the aphidophagous silver fly Leucopis annulipes Zetterstedt (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) is furtive, as are larvae of the aphidophagous midge Aphidoletes ...

Male-killing bacteria in insects: mechanisms, incidence and implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
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]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2000
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

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
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.
