Field management practices and altitudes drive the abundance of ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in cultivated cucurbit crops in Morogoro, Tanzania

Journal of Current Opinion in Crop Science, 2023
Ladybird beetles are helpful insects in agricultural ecosystems affected by locally accepted agroecological techniques. Conventional farming practices are known to harm these insects, which led to the exploration of agroecology as an alternative.

Olfaction in phytophagous ladybird beetles: antennal sensilla and sensitivity to volatiles from host plants in Chnootriba elaterii

Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2022
Olfaction and chemical ecology in phytophagous ladybird beetles have been largely ignored so far. The present paper describes for the first time basiconic, grooved, and trichoid porous olfactory sensilla on the antennae of the phytophagous ladybird ...

Evidence for intermolecular forces involved in ladybird beetle tarsal setae adhesion

Scientific Reports, 2021
Why can beetles such as the ladybird beetle Coccinella septempunctata walk vertically or upside-down on a smooth glass plane? Intermolecular and/or capillary forces mediated by a secretion fluid on the hairy footpads have commonly been considered the ...

The first fossil Microweiseini (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) from the Eocene of Europe and its significance for the reconstruction of the evolution of ladybird beetles

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2021
Molecular studies on the evolution of ladybird beetles date their origin somewhere in the Cretaceous, but no fossils are known from that period. The oldest representatives come from the Eocene, with the richest diversity found in Baltic amber.
