The quality of aphids as food for generalist predators: implications for natural control of aphids (2005, background): “Thus, the cuticular waxes of aphids seem to be important for prey recognition in coccinellids (review in Dixon, 2000).”
Effect of temperature on intrinsic rates of natural increase (rm) of a coccinellid and its spider mite prey (2003, background): “, 1995), predator (Sabelis, 1985b; Cloutier et al., 1995; Stàubli Dreyer et al., 1997; Lopez-Arroyo et al., 1999; Dixon, 2000), and parasitoid species (Biswas and Singh, 1997).”
It is time to bridge the gap between exploring and exploiting: prospects for utilizing intraspecific genetic variation to optimize arthropods for augmentative pest control – a review (2017, background): “…approach: much is known about its biology, covering its ecology, population dynamics, behavioural, and physiological traits (overviews in Hodek, 1973; Majerus, 1994; Dixon, 2000; Hodek et al., 2012), and the underlying genetics of several traits relevant to biocontrol has been well studied.”
Scale insects, mealybugs, whiteflies and psyllids (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha) as prey of ladybirds (2009, background): “…was explained by Thorpe (1930, p. 937) and Hodek (1973, p. 215): the ‘‘rate of increase ratio between the (introduced) predator and prey was in favour of the coccinellid” and stressed also later (Hagen, 1974; Hodek and Honěk, 1996; Kindlmann and Dixon, 1999; Dixon, 2000; Hodek and Michaud, 2008).”
Invasion of the Florida Citrus Ecosystem by Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Asymmetric Competition with a Native Species, Cycloneda sanguinea (2002, positive): “…C. sanguinea possess smooth dorsal surfaces lacking any defensive spines or waxy Þlaments such as those present in larvae of other coccinellid genera, whereas the dorsal surfaces of larvae of H. axyridis are covered with short spines thought to provide some defense against predation (Dixon 2000).”
Colonization of apple orchards by predators of Dysaphis plantaginea: sequential arrival, response to prey abundance and consequences for biological control (2005, background): “…made in the Asturian orchards are well explained in light of the oviposition behaviour of these two specialist predators and they tend to confirm the inability of natural populations of aphidophagous specialist predators in regulating aphid abundance (Kindlmann and Dixon, 1999; Dixon, 2000).”
Functional response of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) to Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae) in the Laboratory (2004, positive): “…leaves where A. gossypii is relatively abundant because coccinellids generally aggregate where prey are abundant and once prey are captured, coccinellids conduct area-restricted searches (Dixon, 2000) as also observed in H. axyridis (Kawai, 1976; Koch, 2003; Lee and Kang, unpublished observation).”
Intraguild predation of immature stages of British and Japanese coccinellids by the invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis (2008, positive): “When IGP between larvae does occur, it is usually the larger that attacks the smaller (Dixon 2000; Felix and Soares 2004).”
The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis: A review of its biology, uses in biological control, and non-target impacts (2003, background): “In other words, H. axyridis may also use other aphidophagous species as a food source (Dixon, 2000).”
Intraguild predation between the aphidophagous ladybird beetles Harmonia axyridis and Coccinella undecimpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): the role of body weight (2004, positive): “IG prey populations may suffer local extinctions due to IGP, which is an important mortality factor (Lucas et al., 1998; Dixon, 2000).”
Role of surface chemical signals in egg cannibalism and intraguild predation in ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (2000, background): “Ladybird larvae have poorly developed eyes and do not appear to use visual stimuli in prey recognition (Dixon 2000).”
Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “The importation of Coccinellidae for the biological control of aphids has been reviewed numerous times (e.g., Hagen, 1974; Obrycki and Kring, 1998; Dixon, 2000; Hirose, 2006; Powell and Pell, 2007).”
Pick and Mix: Selecting Flowering Plants to Meet the Requirements of Target Biological Control Insects (2012, background): “Although they seem to lack the ability to regulate aphid populations in summer (Dixon, 2000 ) early - season pest suppression may benefi t from conservation measures that promote lady beetle subsistence on prey and non - prey food in spring (Obrycki et al ., 2009 ).”
Preference-performance of a generalist predatory ladybird: A laboratory study (2005, background): “the daily oviposition increases with age until a peak is obtained and then declines on further aging (Dixon, 2000).”
Effect of intraguild predation on the survival and development of three species of aphidophagous ladybirds: consequences for invasive species (2004, background): “In addition, A. bipunctata and C. s. brucki, which is another common species in Japan, are also likely to interact, as A. bipunctata and C. septempunctata do in Europe (Dixon, 2000).”
