open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2008
The hypothesis that small species of aphidophagous coccinellids need lower aphid population densities for reproduction than large species (Dixon, 2007) was tested in the field.

The biogeography of Coccinellidae in the Pacific area [PDF]

open access: yesGeoJournal, 1983
This paper is an attempt to sum up our knowledge of the coccinellid fauna in the Pacific area. About 560 species have been recorded from the area, in which Australia has been included because it is essential for a proper understanding of the Melanesian insular faunas. Major points emerging from this.

Foraging in a complex environment - semiochemicals support searching behaviour of the seven spot ladybird

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2005
Knowledge of semiochemically-mediated behavioural mechanisms of the seven-spot ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata L., is limited but sufficient to encourage further studies in the behavioural ecology of this well known insect.
