Resource amount and discontinuity influence flight and reproduction in Hippodamia convergens (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Ecosphere, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Industrial‐scale agriculture creates a mosaic of large monocultures in the landscape, where seasonal cropping cycles generate discontinuous resource availability for insect predators both spatially and temporally. In this environment, selection will favor predator movement and reproductive behaviors that optimize the location and effective ...

Coccinellid host morphology dictates morphological diversity of the parasitoid wasp Dinocampus coccinellae [PDF]

Biological Control, 2018
AbstractPararsitoid-host interactions involving host species that are newly introduced into the range of a generalist parasitoid provide systems that can be examined for phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary changes in parasitoid-host dynamics.

Evolutionary Perspectives on Myrmecophily in Ladybirds

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Myrmecophiles are species that usually have developed specialized traits to cope with the aggressiveness of ants enabling them to live in their vicinity. Many coccinellid species are predators of Hemiptera; the latter is also often protected by ants. Therefore these ladybirds frequently interact with ants, and some species have become myrmecophilous ...
