Searching and reproductive behaviour of female aphidophagous ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): a review

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2003
In searching both for food to produce eggs and for suitable oviposition sites, females of aphidophagous ladybirds must be adapted to exploit prey that vary greatly in their occurrence and abundance over both space and time.

Performance of a predatory ladybird beetle, Anegleis cardoni (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) on three aphid species

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2009
Qualitative and quantitative differences in prey are known to affect the life histories of predators. A laboratory study was used to evaluate the suitability of three aphid prey, Aphis gossypii, Aphis craccivora and Lipaphis erysimi, for the ladybird ...

Abundance of Coccinellids and Their Potential Prey in Field-Crop and Grass Habitats in Eastern South Dakota [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A rich fauna of coccinellids occurs in eastern South Dakota, but the abundance of some species has declined in association with the establishment of an exotic lady beetle, Coccinella septempunctata (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), in the mid-1980s.

Impact of the arrival of Harmonia axyridis on adults of Coccinella septempunctata and Coleomegilla maculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2002
The impact of the arrival of the exotic coccinellid Harmonia axyridis on the biological control and dispersion of apple mites and aphids, and on the vertical distribution of the established coccinellids Coccinella septempunctata and Coleomegilla maculata

Molecular phylogeny reveals food plasticity in the evolution of true ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae: Coccinellini)

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2017
BackgroundThe tribe Coccinellini is a group of relatively large ladybird beetles that exhibits remarkable morphological and biological diversity. Many species are aphidophagous, feeding as larvae and adults on aphids, but some species also feed on other ...

Effect of nutritious and toxic prey on food preference of a predaceous ladybird, Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
We investigated the predatory potential and food preference of different life stages of Coccinella septempunctata L. for a nutritious aphid (mustard aphid, Lipaphis erysimi) and toxic aphid (cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae). We provided all the life

The complete mitochondrial genome of Aiolocaria hexaspilota (Hope, 1831) (Coleoptera:Coccinellidae)

open access: yes, 2019
Aiolocaria hexaspilota (Hope 1831) is a specialized predator of leaf beetles (Chrysomelinae). We have determined the first mitochondrial genome of A. hexaspilota. The circular mitogenome of A. hexaspilota consists of 17,549 bp including 13 protein-coding
