Molecular Phylogeny of Ladybird Beetles (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera) Inferred from Mitochondrial 16S rDNA Sequences

open access: yesTropical Agricultural Research, 2010
Although ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae: Coleoptera) are charismatic and have great ecological and economic significance, understanding of the evolutionary history of Coccinellidae remains poor.

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.

Laboratory risk assessment of Beauveria bassiana AAD16 on two species of ladybird beetle. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Beauveria bassiana AAD16, isolated from Allomyrina dichotoma, shows promise as a mycoinsecticide against various coleopterans. However, assessing non-target impacts on beneficial beetles like ladybirds is crucial before commercialization.

Ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) from northern Cyprus, including six new records

open access: yesZoology in the Middle East, 2006
During 2000–2001, 21 species of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae) in 12 genera were recorded in northern Cyprus. Six species are new records for the island of Cyprus, namely: Cheilomenes propinqua, Diomus rubidus, Nephus hiekei, Nephus nigricans, Scymnus ...

A Natural History of Ladybird Beetles

open access: yes, 2016
The Coccinellidae are a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds or ladybugs. In Britain alone, some 46 species belong to the Coccinellidae family, although only 26 of these are recognisably ladybirds. Composed largely of Professor Michael Majerus'

A database of traits for the ladybird species of the United Kingdom [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Data
Trait-based approaches have become common in ecological research as they can contribute to an understanding of ecosystem functioning and how species, communities and systems may respond to environmental change.
