Ladybird beetles are predatory insects, which consumes everal insect pests and have immense biocontrol potential, particularly against aphids. In prey scarcity, they resort to intraguild predation (IGP) by consuming immature stages of other heterospecific ladybirds.

Abstract Intraspecific variation is the variation in morphology, physiology, behaviour, and social organisation of any species as it adapts to changing environmental circumstances by varying its feeding habits. In the present study, we investigated the disparities between the preselected (F1) and postselected (F15) populations of Propylea dissecta ...

Abstract:Development and survival of the immature stages of an aphidophagous ladybeetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) was investigated at five constant temperatures, viz. 20, 25, 27, 30 and 35°C, using Aphis gossypii Glover as prey. Developmental period of all the life stages were significantly affected with change in constant temperature and ...

Abstract: In the present study the influence of maternal and paternal ages on reproductive performance of an aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) were investigated. Maternal age strongly influenced fecundity and pre‐oviposition period while paternal age strongly influenced the egg viability.

Adult pale morphs of an aphidophagous lady beetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), were reared on a non-insect diet for periods ranging from 0 to 30 days after eclosion. The prey-deprived females, when provided with the cowpea aphid, Aphis craccivora Koch (Homoptera: Aphididae), laid fertile eggs, indicating that they had ...

Abstract Remating rate is a fundamental parameter that acts on disease transmission, sexual dimorphism, and the rate of evolution of species. Recent studies have indicated that sperm production can be costly. It is thus likely that males may tailor their sperm expenditure according to female mating status and the remating interval between successive ...

AbstractThe effects of environmental parameters on insect development have been studied extensively. But the reasons for 2 differential developmental rates within same cohort under varying environmental factors have not been explored. For the purpose, in this study the existence and stability of slow and fast development under 5 photoperiods (i.e., 8L:

Ladybird beetles like many other organisms show developmental rate polymorphism in response to various abiotic and biotic factors. Since mating disruption acts as a stressor, we decided to study its impact on the occurrence of developmental rate polymorphs in ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta Mulsant, 1850 (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

The effects of conspecific adult interference on the reproductive output of an aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) were investigated. Ovipositing females were subjected to physical interference with conspecific adults (0 to 4 males or females) in Petri dishes and the effects on egg cannibalism, oviposition and egg viability were ...

Abstract: The role of surface chemicals in egg cannibalism and intraguild predation by neonates of two aphidophagous ladybirds, Propylea dissecta and Coccinella transversalis were examined. Neonates of both species prefer to eat non‐sibling conspecific eggs than heterospecific eggs, with higher preference in P. dissecta.
