Crowding as a possible stress factor in food choice of aphidophagous ladybird beetle, Propylea dissecta (Mulsant)

Canadian Journal of Zoology
Crowding induces behavioural and lasting morphological and chromatic changes in insects. This study examined how larval rearing density of Propylea dissecta (Mulsant, 1850) affected food choice and development duration, hypothesising that larvae under stress will opt for lower quality food as larval density increases.

An experimental evolution study deciphers differences between the life attributes of developmental variants in Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Animal Biology
Abstract Developmental plasticity is a well-known individual survival strategy. Organisms are usually limited in their ability to read environmental cues and to integrate present and past information for optimally adjusting their phenotype to the state of their environment. Our study was designed to evaluate the effects of experimental selection on the

Impact of Copulation Duration on Reproductive Success in Ladybird Beetles: A Study of Propylea dissecta Mulsant as Biocontrol Agents

Journal of Applied Entomology
ABSTRACT Under field conditions, almost all organisms are exposed to a variety of threats including predators, heterospecific, and conspecific competitors, leading to disruptions in feeding as well as mating. Such disruptions may negatively impact reproduction, development, and in extreme cases even survival ...
