Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 444-453, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and

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

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2599-2618, May 2026.Summary Beneficial rhizobacteria and viral pathogens can both alter host plant phenotypes, yet little is known about how their simultaneous presence influences plant metabolism and species interactions. We investigated how two rhizobacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum and Delftia acidovorans, together with bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), shape soybean ...

Temperature-dependent development of the two-spotted ladybeetle, Adalia bipunctata, on the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae, and a factitious food under constant temperatures [PDF]
, 2010 The ability of a natural enemy to tolerate a wide temperature range is a critical factor in the evaluation of its suitability as a biological control agent.

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are both common phenomena amongst aphidophagous coccinellids and serve as vital alternative feeding strategies which can prolong survival during periods of aphid scarcity.
