The Canadian Entomologist, 2023
Abstract Food preferences and choices are common among animals, including insects. Studies on food preferences have been done on coccinellids using eggs and aphids as diet, but information on the food choices of the aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), under laboratory conditions, is scarce.

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2023
Understanding why animals choose one food over another is one of the key questions underlying the fields of behaviour ecology. This study aims to test if ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) can forage selectively for nutrients in order to redress specific nutritional imbalances to maximise their fitness.

Mating behavior of an aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant)
Insect Science, 2005Abstract The mating behavior of Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) was investigated in detail. Protandry was evident, as males mature earlier than females. Predicted age of sexual maturation of male and female ladybirds was 7.12 and 9.33 days, respectively. Males performed courtship in six steps, viz.

Ovipositional Orientation of an Aphidophagous Ladybird Beetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant)
International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2003The ovipositional orientation of an aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in terms of geo- and photo-taxis, colour and texture of substrates was studied. The beetle exhibited a high preference for negatively geotactic substrates for oviposition.

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2017
The present study aims to understand the influence of two thermal extremes (15°C and 35°C) as thermal stressors on the selected line of developmental variants (slow and fast developers) in Propylea dissecta and to compare it with the response at the optimal temperature (27°C).

Functional and numerical responses of Propylea dissecta (Col., Coccinellidae)
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2004Abstract:The functional response of a ladybeetle, Propylea dissecta, to increasing density of aphid, Aphis gossypii, was of the curvilinear shape depicting Holling's type II response with fourth instar larva being the most voracious stage when compared with adult male and female.

Phenotype-dependent mate choice in Propylea dissecta and its fitness consequences
Journal of Ethology, 2014Sexual selection in relation to male or female polymorphism has been investigated across the taxa. However, how polymorphism influences sexual selection has been investigated less in most organisms including ladybirds, with most studies in the latter on mating incidences in the field.
