• Assessing the trophic ecology of the Coccinellidae: Their roles as predators and as prey (2009, background): “Alternative foods such as lepidopteran and coleopteran immatures (Evans, in this issue) and non-prey foods (Lundgren, in this issue) are critical components of optimal diets in most coccinellids, and shape the natural histories of these and other predators (Lundgren, 2009).”
• Food Wastes as a Potential new Source for Edible Insect Mass Production for Food and Feed: A review (2019, background): “In general, the major macronutrients required for insect mass production are (a) carbohydrates, which serve as an energy pool but are also required for configuration of chitin (exoskeleton of arthropods) [60], (b) lipids (mainly polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and linolenic), which are ”
• Scale insects, mealybugs, whiteflies and psyllids (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha) as prey of ladybirds (2009, background): “Coccinellidae feed on a wide variety of prey species (Hodek, 1996), e.g. mites (Biddinger et al., 2009), aphids (Obrycki et al., 2009), Coleoptera and Lepidoptera (Evans, 2009), and non-prey food (Lundgren, 2009; Sutherland and Parrella, 2009).”
• Pick and Mix: Selecting Flowering Plants to Meet the Requirements of Target Biological Control Insects (2012, background): “Although fl oral food sources are not essential for these predators, they may be dependent on them when prey is temporarily scarce (Lundgren, 2009 ).”
• The evolution of food preferences in Coccinellidae (2009, background): “9) (Hagen, 1962; Lundgren, 2009b).”
• Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “Coccinellidae, which also benefit from access to pollen and nectar (Lundgren, 2009), were sampled in significantly greater abundance in 2010 from fields adjacent to wildflower plantings, but this trend did not continue into 2011.”
• Lady beetle oviposition behavior in response to the trophic environment (2009, unknown): “postica larvae and sugar or nectar generally improves reproduction in coccinellids over single-prey diets (Evans, 2009; Lundgren, 2009).”
• Non-crop vegetation associated with chili pepper agroecosystems promote the abundance and survival of aphid predators (2013, unknown): “It is widely accepted that non-prey food items are associated with increased survival and reproduction in coccinellids (Lundgren, 2009a, 2009b), and floral and extrafloral nectaries on weeds supply pollen and nectar to adult coccinellids (e.g., Pember-ton and Vandenberg, 1993; Leather et al., 1999;…”
• Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, methodology): “…aphid populations may also rely on species targeted by the Bt crop (e.g., lepidopteran eggs or larvae; Evans, 2009), or prey that contain large amounts of Bt toxin (e.g., mites Dutton et al., 2002; Biddinger et al., 2009), or altered crop-based non-prey foods including pollen (Lundgren, 2009).”
