Mitochondrial genome of Lemnia saucia Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and phylogenetic analysis
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 We sequenced and annotated the nearly complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Lemnia saucia (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). This mitogenome was 14,106 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 19 transfer RNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA ...

Use of a pollen-based diet to expose the ladybird beetle Propylea japonica to insecticidal proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A rape seed pollen-based diet was developed and found to be suitable for use in a dietary exposure assay for Propylea japonica. Using the diet, we established and validated a dietary exposure assay by using the protease inhibitor E-64 as positive control.

Optimal experimental design for predator–prey functional response experiments [PDF]
, 2018 Functional response models are important in understanding predator–prey interactions. The development of functional response methodology has progressed from mechanistic models to more statistically motivated models that can account for variance and the ...
