A Natural History of Ladybird Beetles
, 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'

The mitochondrial genomes of ladybird beetles and implications for evolution and phylogeny.
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2019 Ladybirds formed the most familiar beetle group, namely the family Coccinellidae, whose internal relationships remain unclear. In particular, the subfamily relationships could not be well resolved in previous studies based on the conventional nuclear and/

Investigation of hindwing folding in ladybird beetles by artificial elytron transplantation and microcomputed tomography [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2017 SignificanceHindwings in ladybird beetles successfully achieve compatibility between the deformability (instability) required for wing folding and strength property (stability) required for flying.

Direct and indirect effect of cannibalism and intraguild predation in the two sibling Harmonia ladybird beetles [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 In this study, we focused on the direct (i.e., predation) and indirect (i.e., potential threat from coexisting with a larger individual) effects of cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) during larval stages of two sibling ladybird beetles.

FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2023 Horizontal transmission of bacteria to varied hosts can maintain and even expand microbial niches. We previously found that the aphid gut bacterium Serratia symbiotica strain SsMj can be transmitted to ladybird beetles via predation, but whether the ...

Synthèse bibliographique : l'écologie chimique des coccinelles [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2010 Review: chemical ecology of ladybird beetles. This paper reviews the chemical ecology of ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to present the role of semiochemicals involved in plant-ladybird, prey-ladybird and predator-ladybird interactions ...

Potential of 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic Acid as an Oviposition Stimulant for Mass-Reared Ladybird Beetles [PDF]
J Insect Sci, 2019 The discovery of inexpensive, readily available bioflavonoids, and their degradation products that boost the reproductive potential of mass-reared predators is the overarching goal of this research. We tested the hypothesis that 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid

Repeated inversions within a pannier intron drive diversification of intraspecific colour patterns of ladybird beetles [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 How genetic information is modified to generate phenotypic variation within a species is one of the central questions in evolutionary biology. Here we focus on the striking intraspecific diversity of >200 aposematic elytral (forewing) colour patterns of ...
