Social feeding in ladybird beetles: adaptive significance and mechanism [PDF]
Chemoecology, 2000 Young larvae of Adalia bipunctata search an area more intensively when exposed to the odour from other larvae feeding on aphids than when exposed only to the odour of aphids. In an olfactometer young larvae were significantly attracted either to the odour of crushed aphids or larvae feeding on aphids, but not to that of aphids, larvae, larvae plus ...

Condition-dependent ejaculate size and composition in a ladybird beetle [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 Sexually selected male ejaculate traits are expected to depend on the resource state of males. Theory predicts that males in good condition will produce larger ejaculates, but that ejaculate composition will depend on the relative production costs of ejaculate components and the risk of sperm competition experienced by low- and high ...

Take flight: predation risk induces wing polyphenism and dispersal in the aphid Myzus persicae
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Predator risk above a critical density induces winged morphs in Myzus persicae, promoting dispersal and reducing predation compared with wingless aphids. This density‐dependent phenotypic plasticity enhances survival but may compromise biological control by facilitating aphid dispersal.

Ladybird Beetles and Aphid Control [PDF]
, 1949 The author discusses Ladybird beetles long recognized as beneficial insects which largely feed largely upon aphids. An examination on June 24 of a late seeding of wheat, infested with greenbugs, (aphids) near Fargo showed ladybird beetles to be present
