Harmonia axyridis: a threat to Brazilian Coccinellidae? Harmonia axyridis: uma ameaça aos Coccinellidae brasileiros? [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Entomologia, 2009
Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) is a polyphagous Asian species, well-known as a classical biological control agent of aphids around the world, introduced probably accidentally in Brazil, sampled for the first time in 2002. It is an

An annotated checklist of Coccinellidae with four new records from Pakistan (Coleoptera, Coccinellidae) [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2018
Some new ladybird (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) records collected during the last four years across Sindh are reported. A first preliminary checklist of ladybirds from Sindh is presented, consisting of one subfamily, ten tribes, 21 genera, and 29 species ...

Comparative Mitogenomes and Phylogenetic Analyses of Coccinellidae (Coleoptera: Coccinelloidea). [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study presents the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of four Coccinellidae species, containing Calvia chinensis, Micraspis discolor, Harmonia eucharis, and Oenopia kirbyi. Firstly, we reported the organization and nucleotide composition of these mitogenomes and compared them with those of other published mitogenomes of Coccinellidae. Then,

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae. [PDF]

J Morphol
We explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Ultrastructural and Functional Organization of Maxillary Palps in Ladybird Species (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) With Different Feeding Preferences. [PDF]

Microsc Res Tech
This research described the ultrastructural organization of Coccinellidae maxillary palps. The apical sensory area housed the largest number of sensilla. The sensilla belonged to three types: uniporous, multiporous, and campaniform sensilla. Large number of sensilla and sensory neurons provide evidence that maxillary palps act as primary sensory organ ...

Assessing flower‐visiting arthropod diversity in apple orchards through metabarcoding of environmental DNA from flowers and visual census

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 117-131, January 2023., 2023
The diversity of flower‐visiting arthropods in four Danish apple orchards was assessed using molecular (metabarcoding) and non‐molecular techniques. The aim was to obtain a broader overview of arhtropod communities present to support future management practices towards more sustainable agricultural systems.

Aphidophagous ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and climate change: a review

Insect Conservation and Diversity, 2021
I here review the potential effects of climate change on aphidophagous ladybirds and their future diversity. Aphidophagous ladybirds face challenges arising directly from climatic change and indirect challenges due to the effect of climate on their aphid

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta‐analysis in insects

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...

Fast‐tracking bespoke DNA reference database generation from museum collections for biomonitoring and conservation

Molecular Ecology Resources, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Despite recent advances in high‐throughput DNA sequencing technologies, a lack of locally relevant DNA reference databases limits the potential for DNA‐based monitoring of biodiversity for conservation and biosecurity applications. Museums and national collections represent a compelling source of authoritatively identified genetic material for
