Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “…a group of predatory species in North America exert significant pressure on soybean aphid populations, including coccinellids (Fox et al., 2005; Costamagna and Landis, 2007; Costamagna et al., 2007, 2008; Landis et al., 2008) and Orius insidiosus Say (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) (Desneux et al.,…”
The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis: global perspectives on invasion history and ecology (2016, background): “axyridis has recently become one of the most abundant coccinellids (Costamagna and Landis 2007; Gardiner and Landis 2007; Gardiner et al. 2009a; Hesler 2014; Liere et al. 2014; Varenhorst and O’Neal 2012).”
The role of exotic ladybeetles in the decline of native ladybeetle populations: evidence from long-term monitoring (2015, background): “This is particularly exemplified by H. axyridis, an efficient and voracious predator of soybean aphids, occurring on soybeans: in this case, the predator, prey and host crop are all originally from the same range in Asia (Costamagna and Landis 2006, 2007; Heimpel et al. 2010; Ragsdale et al. 2011).”
The role of natural enemy guilds in Aphis glycines suppression (2008, methodology): “The number of small predators per m (NSP/m) was estimated as: NSP/m = NSP in focal row/number of plants in focal row total number of plants per quadrat (Costamagna and Landis, 2007).”
