HvarAKR1B1‐mediated tolerance in Hippodamia variegata: Deciphering the metabolic adaptation and fitness costs under prolonged starvation

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Starvation stress significantly affected the growth and development of Hippodamia variegata. Combined transcriptome and metabolome analysis and RNA interference verification revealed that HvarAKR1B1 may be involved in the response of Hippodamia variegata to starvation stress.

Control System for the Navigation of the Agricultural Robots: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Control systems for the navigation of autonomous agricultural robots—particularly those operating in uneven terrain and in the presence of static or dynamic obstacles—have advanced considerably in recent years. As conventional machinery evolves toward increasingly automated systems, the design of reliable navigation controllers has become ...

Assessing the potential for seven spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) to control the blackcurrant aphid (Cryptomyzus galeopsidis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The purpose of this study was to discover the possibilities to use seven spot ladybird (Coccinella septempunctata) to control the blackcurrant aphid (Cryptomyzus galeopsidis). Different species of aphids are natural prey for seven spot ladybirds and they

Intra‐ and interspecific interactions between aphidophagous ladybirds: the role of prey in predator coexistence

open access: yes, 2017
Cannibalism (CANN) and intraguild predation (IGP) may provide energy and nutrients to individuals and eliminate potential competitors. These negative competitive interactions could also affect the coexistence of predatory species.
