The influence of age on reproductive performance of the predatory ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2004 The influence of age on reproductive performance of an aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta was examined using male and female beetles of varying ages (1-30 days) after a single mating stimulus.

Slow and fast development in ladybirds: occurrence, effects and significance [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2012 Developmental and growth rates are known to vary in response to genetic, developmental, physiological and environmental factors. However, developmental variations that exist within a cohort under any constant rearing condition are not so well ...

Ageing trajectory and longevity trade-off in an aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2006 The ageing trajectory (trend in ageing) and reproduction-longevity trade-off in both sexes of the ladybird Propylea dissecta were studied. The ageing trajectories of both sexes were investigated in terms of reproductive performance, using initial ...

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 167, Issue 7, Page 584-597, July 2019., 2019 We review studies that used experimental evolution and/or artificial selection to improve native biocontrol agents and evaluated their success. Most studies focused on improving the performance of natural enemies in ecologically relevant environments, such as in the presence of pesticides or at different temperatures.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 We describe different aspects of the reproductive biology, mating behavior, and vibratory communication of the pentatomid Edessa meditabunda (Fabr.). This species shows lower copulation frequency and reproductive potential with longer sexual maturation period compared to other species of pentatomids.
