Interspecific exploitative competition between Harmonia axyridis and other coccinellids is stronger than intraspecific competition [PDF]
The invasion of Harmonia axyridis has had negative consequences on coccinellid assemblages, with a decline in abundance and diversity, but the coexistence of invasive and resident species may depend on the strength of intra- and interspecific ...

Comparative feeding behaviour of coccinellid beetles
It is evident from that IV instar grub of C. septempunctata and M. sexmaculatus consumed more individuals of aphid than the unstarved adults. The 24 h starved adults of C. septempunctata and M. sexmaculatus consumed more aphids as compared to unstarved adults.

The behaviour of individual coccinellid larvae on plants
Summary The behaviour of coccinellid larvae on plants was studied. They moved on bean leaves, as they did on a flat piece of paper, with frequent changes in direction, but the edges and prominent veins of leaves often determined the pattern of their tracks.

Does Mutual Interference Affect the Feeding Rate of Aphidophagous Coccinellids? A Modeling Perspective. [PDF]
Mutual interference involves direct interactions between individuals of the same species that may alter their foraging success. Larvae of aphidophagous coccinellids typically stay within a patch during their lifetime, displaying remarkable aggregation to
