, 2007 Vertically transmitted bacterial symbionts are common in arthropods. However, estimates of their incidence and diversity are based on studies that test for a single bacterial genus and often only include small samples of each host species.

Diet and chemical defence in ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
, 2022 In this paper, I review the effects of the diet of ladybirds on chemical defence in this group of beetles. The tendency to refl ex bleed and the diversity of autogenously produced alkaloids in different taxa may be evolutionarily related to diet and the ...

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 ...

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

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
