Host discrimination in Dinocampus coccinellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), a solitary parasitoid of coccinellid beetles.

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2000
The ability of a solitary parasitoid, Dinocampus coccinellae (Schrank) to discriminate between a parasitized and unparasitized host, Coccinella septempunctata L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) was tested in the laboratory. AD. coccinellae female wasp was placed together with a host beetle and allowed to parasitize 3 successive times, and the time interval

Aestivo-hibernation of Coccinella septempunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in a mountainous area in southern Turkey: Is dormancy at high altitudes adaptive?

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Each year huge numbers of adults of Coccinella septempunctata occupy aestivo-hibernation sites on Uludaz Hill, Çimen Mountain in the Kahramanmaraş Province of Turkey.

External morphology of Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) during larval development [PDF]

, 2010
Cotesia flavipes (Cameron, 1891) (Hymenoptera) is a gregarious endoparasitoid used in applied biological control against Diatraea saccharalis (Fabricius, 1794) (Lepidoptera). In this study, we characterize the larval external morphology and the number of

Body size and the temporal sequence in the reproductive activity of two species of aphidophagous coccinellids exploiting the same resource

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
The hypothesis that small species of aphidophagous coccinellids need lower aphid population densities for reproduction than large species (Dixon, 2007) was tested in the field.

Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 773-785, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

Using citizen science as a research prioritization tool to detect co‐occurrences of the invasive species Harmonia axyridis

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 2, Page 452-459, March 2026.
We studied co‐occurrences and potential novel interactions between the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis and local biota (plants, arthropods and fungi) across Argentina using citizen science records. We detected co‐occurrences (mainly Asteracea and Aphididae) and previously unreported interactions (predation, parasitism, interspecific mating and ...

New Records of the Parasitic waspDinocampus coccinellae(Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and its Hosts in South Africa [PDF]

African Entomology, 2014
Dinocampus coccinellae Schrank (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary endoparasitoid of ladybird beetle species (Coccinellidae) from the subfamily Coccinellinae (Obrycki 1989; Majerus 1997). The wasp has a cosmopolitan distribution, encompassing all continents except for Antarctica, and mostly occupying the Holarctic temperate areas with the exception

Predators and parasitoids of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, in its native range and invaded areas [PDF]

, 2017
The harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) has rapidly spread in several continents over the past 30 years and is considered an invasive alien species. The success of H. axyridis as an invader is often attributed to weak control
