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 ...

Mating alters the food choices of adult ladybird beetle (Propylea dissecta mulsant)
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023 Abstract Mating alters nutritional and energetic needs which results in behavioural and physiological changes related to reproduction. But little is known as to how mating influences sex specific food preferences in ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta.

Functional Responses of Nephus arcuatus Kapur (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), the Most Important Predator of Spherical Mealybug Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead) [PDF]
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016 Nephus arcuatus Kapur is an important predator of Nipaecoccus viridis (Newstead), in citrus orchards of southwestern Iran. This study examined the feeding efficiency of all stages of N. arcuatus at different densities of N. viridis eggs by estimating their functional responses.

Reproductive Biology, Mating Behavior, and Vibratory Communication of the Brown‐Winged Stink Bug, Edessa meditabunda (Fabr.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) [PDF]
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.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES, 2017 We investigated prey preference of adult male and female Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) when fed on the aphids, Aphis craccivora and Lipaphis erysimi, which sequester toxic allelochemicals from their host plants. Both the male and female adults of P. dissecta prefer to consume L. erysimi in most mixed diet treatments (cafeteria experiment).

Evolutionary significance of promiscuity in an aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) [PDF]
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2005 AbstractThe short- and long-term consequences of monogamy and promiscuity in an aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) in terms of reproductive performance and offspring fitness were investigated. Promiscuous females were more fecund and laid more viable eggs than monogamous ones.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES, 2021 Menochilus sexmaculatus and Propylea dissecta (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are predaceous ladybird beetles with immense biological control potential. The morphology of the antennae of the adults along with the diversity and distribution of sensilla were investigated using a scanning electron microscope as they are the main sensory organs involved in ...
