Phylogeny of true ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae: Coccinellini) reveals pervasive convergent evolution and a rapid Cenozoic radiation

, 2021
Coccinellini, the ‘true ladybirds’, is a large, cosmopolitan tribe of lady beetles with immense variability in colour and form that include many commonly recognized species and major biocontrol agents, as well as some ubiquitous invasive species. In this

Isopsylloborine A, a new dimeric azaphenalene alkaloid from ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesTetrahedron Letters, 1999
A new dimeric azaphenalene alkaloid, isopsylloborine A (2), has been isolated from the ladybird beetles Halyzia 16-guttata and Vibidia 12-guttata, and its structure determined by 2D NMR methods.

The hidden costs of regeneration in ladybird beetles

Journal of Insect Physiology
Insects exhibit complex physiological responses to injury, including wound healing, immune activation, and tissue regeneration, all of which impose energetic costs. Regeneration, though adaptive for survival, incurs significant physiological costs, particularly to developmental and reproductive fitness.

Clutch and egg size in ladybird beetles

Entomophaga, 1991
There was a significant positive correlation between the number of ovarioles and clutch size in the 8 species of cocinellid studied. There was no intraspecific correlation between egg size and clutch size under standard conditions. These tactics are discussed in terms of the allocation of resources to reproduction.
