• Pollen as an alternative food for Harmonia axyridis (2008, background): “…are also facultative plant feeders and additionally feed on a wide variety of non-prey foods such as pollen, nectar, fungal spores, plant wound exudates and phloem sap (Gilbert 1981; Hodek and Honek 1996; Lamana and Miller 1996; Patt et al. 2003; Koch et al. 2004; Lundgren et al. 2004).”
• The evolution of food preferences in Coccinellidae (2009, background): “…and Micraspis feed extensively on pollen (e.g., Britton, 1914; Putman, 1964; Benton and Crump, 1981; Turner and Hawkeswood, 2003; Omkar, 2006; Lundgren et al., 2004, 2005; Lundgren, 2009a), and are capable of completing their larval development on pollen alone (Smith, 1960; Shepard and…”
• Insect Pests of Potato: Global Perspectives on Biology and Management (2015, background): “In North America it is most abundant in late summer in corn (maize) fields, feeding on corn pollen, Lepidoptera larvae, and aphids (Nault and Kennedy 2000, Lundgren et al. 2004).”
• Lady beetle oviposition behavior in response to the trophic environment (2009, unknown): “Lundgren et al. (2004) also reported that C. maculata egg density increases during anthesis, and although adults and larvae frequently consumed corn pollen, adult densities did not increase significantly from pre-anthesis densities.”
• Assessing the trophic ecology of the Coccinellidae: Their roles as predators and as prey (2009, background): “Even when essential prey is widely available, it may constitute only a fraction of a coccinellid’s diet (Anderson, 1982; Ricci et al., 1983; Ricci, 1986a,b; Ekbom, 1994; Triltsch,1999; Lundgren et al., 2004; Ricci and Ponti, 2005; Ricci et al., 2005).”
• Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “…on previous data collected by gut dissections (e.g., Forbes, 1883; Putman, 1964; Sunderland and Vickerman, 1980; Anderson, 1982; Triltsch, 1999; Lundgren et al., 2004, 2005) and fecal analysis (Conrad, 1959; Honek, 1986) that relied on the visual identification of indigestible food remains.”
• Lady beetles as predators of insects other than Hemiptera (2009, unknown): “The difference likely reflects that the highly pollinivorous C. maculata was diverted from attacking eggs in the presence of pollen (see also Lundgren et al., 2004).”
