Lady beetles as predators of insects other than Hemiptera (2009, unknown): “Sebolt and Landis (2002) found, however, that first instars of G. calmariensis escape predation by C. maculata by feeding in protected sites in shoot tips of loosestrife (but as herbivore density increases, some larvae may be forced into more vulnerable feeding sites).”
Nutritional aspects of non-prey foods in the life histories of predaceous Coccinellidae (2009, background): “In addition to being a source of nutrition, honeydew also arrests and intensifies the foraging of coccinellid adults and larvae (Banks, 1957; Carter and Dixon, 1984; van den Meiracker et al., 1990; Han and Chen, 2002; Seagraves, 2009).”
Larger wildflower plantings increase natural enemy density, diversity, and biological control of sentinel prey, without increasing herbivore density (2012, background): “Natural enemy retention time is greater in habitats with more abundant prey resources (Vos et al., 1998; Seagraves, 2009), but we did not detect a significant increase in herbivore density among plot sizes.”
Assessing the trophic ecology of the Coccinellidae: Their roles as predators and as prey (2009, background): “Pressure from intraguild competitors and other natural enemies drives coccinellid spatio-temporal distributions on many scales, as well as their predation capacity, defensive characteristics, and reproductive decisions (Seagraves, 2009).”
Scale insects, mealybugs, whiteflies and psyllids (Hemiptera, Sternorrhyncha) as prey of ladybirds (2009, background): “There is substantial evidence that foraging by coccinellids is not an entirely random process, and that it is at least partly guided by visual and olfactory cues (Seagraves, 2009).”
The evolution of food preferences in Coccinellidae (2009, background): “Indirectly, the female even selects the first meals for her offspring by ovipositing in the same area where she has been feeding (Seagraves, 2009).”
