value of coccinellid predation for aphid suppression in these systems varies from a minor …

Food relationships of Coccinellidae have always been actively studied, largely because of
the economic impact of most coccinellid species. Unfortunately the prey-predator …

The food available to coccinellid larvae and their exposure to predation is influenced by

We review the chemical ecology of the ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis from the
perspective of its invasiveness and the deleterious effects it exerts in the regions it has …

Abstract Harmonia axyridis (Pallas)(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is an invasive species
present in numerous agroecosystems in North America. Despite adverse impacts as a threat …

Olfactory learning may allow insects to forage optimally by more efficiently finding and using
