Biological control in agroecosystems: the case of Coccidophagy by Coccinellids

, 2012
Coccinellids are important natural enemies that provide ecosystem services, such as the biological control of pests, in multiple cropping systems. Scales are essential prey items for a large proportion of coccidophagous coccinellid species.

Alkaloids provide evidence of intraguild predation on native coccinellids by Harmonia axyridis in the field

, 2011
Over a period of less than 5 years, Belgium was thoroughly invaded by the multicolored Asian coccinellid, Harmonia axyridis. At the same time, a decline of some native coccinellid species was observed in tree habitats.
