Reproduction and demography of an Aphidophagous ladybird, Hippodamia variegata on six aphid species [PDF]
We tested six aphid species, viz. Aphis gossypii, Aphis craccivora, Brevicoryne brassicae, Lipaphis erysimi, Myzus persicae and Uroleucon compositae as essential foods needed for the reproduction and demography of an aphidophagous ladybird, Hippodamia ...

Behavioral mechanism of transfer and dispersal of Propylaea japonica in cotton adjacent to sorghum fields [PDF]
Increasing crop biodiversity, such as by adjacent managed crops, is recognized as an effective biological control measure. However, few studies have focused on the mechanisms involved in how adjacent managed crops increase natural enemy populations ...

The role of relatedness and diet in kin recognition was investigated in the aphidophagous ladybirds Propylea dissecta and Coccinella transversalis. Third instar larvae of both species exhibited kin recognition, as they were reluctant to consume related ...

Biological aspects of Eriopis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) fed on different insect pests of maize (Zea mays L.) and sorghum [Sorghum bicolor L. (Moench.)]. [PDF]
Eriopis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) occurs in several countries of South America and its mass rearing is important for biological control programmes. This work evaluated biological aspects of E.

The ability to recognize kin is a well-established behavior across several animal phyla including insects. A laboratory experiment was designed to find out whether adults of an aphid-biocontrol agent, Propylea dissecta (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) may avoid consuming their own eggs in prey scarcity in the presence of unrelated conspecific eggs.

Kelimpahan Populasi, Preferensi Dan Karakter Kebugaran Menochilus Sexmaculatus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Predator Kutudaun Pada Pertanaman Cabai [PDF]
This predator is efective to control population of aphids, so the aim of research was to study the field population abundance, predator preference to this prey, and fitness character of M. sexmaculatus as predator. The population fluctuation was observed

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.
