Gene flow in the exotic 14-spotted ladybird beetle, Propylea quatuordecimpunctata [PDF]
Genome, 1996 Propylea quatuordecimpunctata is a Palearctic ladybird beetle that has recently become established fortuitously in northeastern North America. This predator has also been cultured by the United States Department of Agriculture from geographically diverse Old World populations and propagated for release in the U.S.A.

Competition for Aphid Prey between Different Lady Beetle Species in a Laboratory Arena
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 Direct competition for aphid prey (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was evaluated between and among several lady beetle species (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The behavior of three native (Coccinella trifasciata, Coleomegilla maculata, and Hippodamia convergens) and ...

Optimal experimental design for predator-prey functional response experiments. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2018 Functional response models are important in understanding predator–prey interactions. The development of functional response methodology has progressed from mechanistic models to more statistically motivated models that can account for variance and the ...

Ultrastructural and Functional Organization of Maxillary Palps in Ladybird Species (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) With Different Feeding Preferences. [PDF]
Microsc Res TechThis research described the ultrastructural organization of Coccinellidae maxillary palps. The apical sensory area housed the largest number of sensilla. The sensilla belonged to three types: uniporous, multiporous, and campaniform sensilla. Large number of sensilla and sensory neurons provide evidence that maxillary palps act as primary sensory organ ...

Sexual Dimorphism of Tarsal Attachment Devices and Their Relation to Mating in Coccinellidae. [PDF]
J MorpholWe explore the coevolution of male attachment devices and female elytral morphology in coccinellids. Specifically: (1) Disco‐setae are present in males of some species, located on the hairy pad which during mating hold on female elytra. (2) The area of male disco‐setae is extended when females have smooth elytra, and reduced when females have hairy ...

Community science data suggests that urbanization and forest habitat loss threaten aphidophagous native lady beetles. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2021 We established the Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz community program to track native lady beetle communities in residential gardens. We found a strong positive relationship between the abundance of forested habitat in the surrounding landscape and native aphidophagous coccinellid abundance.

Prey life-history influences the evolution of egg mass and indirectly reproductive investment in a group of free-living insect predators. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 In insect predator, prey influences the evolution of life‐history traits. After controlling for phylogenetic relatedness, we show that ladybirds specialized on aphids lay bigger eggs than those that specialized on coccids. However, the two types of ladybirds invest equally in reproduction.
