Lady beetle oviposition behavior in response to the trophic environment (2009, unknown): “Prey change in their suitability as they age, and so it is expected that coccinellids can distinguish prey of a preferred age (Hodek and Honěk, 2009).”
Coccinellidae as predators of mites: Stethorini in biological control (2009, background): “Many prey change in their suitability for coccinellids as they age (Hodek and Honěk, 2009), and mites are no exception.”
The evolution of food preferences in Coccinellidae (2009, background): “Most of the preferred prey belong to the hemipteran suborder Sternorrhyncha (aphids, aldelgids, scales, mealybugs, whiteflies, and psyllids) (Hodek and Honěk, 2009; Obrycki et al., 2009), but there are significant deviations from this pattern.”
Assessing the trophic ecology of the Coccinellidae: Their roles as predators and as prey (2009, background): “, parasitoid pupae or mummies are sometimes less preferred than developing endoparasitoids) (Chong and Oetting, 2007; Zang and Liu, 2007; Hodek and Honěk, 2009).”
