Lady beetles as predators of insects other than Hemiptera (2009, unknown): “Cannibalism and intraguild predation of other lady beetle larvae may benefit lady beetle larvae that develop under limited food conditions (e.g., Wagner et al., 1999; Snyder et al., 2000).”
INTERACTIONS BETWEEN SPECIALIST AND GENERALIST NATURAL ENEMIES: PARASITOIDS, PREDATORS, AND PEA APHID BIOCONTROL (2003, background): “…one of the most abundant predators during our field experiments (Table 1), feeds not only on aphids (LaMana and Miller 1996) but also on other herbivores (Cottrell and Yeargan 1998a, b) and other predators (Cottrell and Yeargan 1999), including conspecifics (Wagner et al. 1999, Snyder et al. 2000).”
Biological traits and life table of the exotic Harmonia axyridis compared with Hippodamia variegata, and Adalia bipunctata (Col., Coccinellidae) (2004, result): “A comparison of our findings with those of other studies (e.g. Kalushkov, 1994 for A. bipunctata and Snyder et al., 2000 for H. axyridis) confirms that factors such as prey species, cannibalistic feeding, and rearing conditions, that may affect development duration, mortality and adult longevity in…”
Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi-enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem (2003, background): “It is a generalist predator that feeds on several types of aphids, and on other herbivores, predators and conspecifics (LaMana & Miller 1996; Snyder et al. 2000 ).”
MIGHT NITROGEN LIMITATION PROMOTE OMNIVORY AMONG CARNIVOROUS ARTHROPODS (2003, background): “Heteropterans (Spence and Carcamo 1991), coccinellid beetles (Snyder et al. 2000), and some mites (Schaus- berger and Croft 2000) show increased performance or survival when fed conspecifics, but the reverse is true for some spiders (Toft and Wise 1999a) and some mites (Schausberger and Croft 2000).”
DOES INTRAGUILD PREDATION ENHANCE PREDATOR PERFORMANCE? A STOICHIOMETRIC PERSPECTIVE (2004, background): “In numerous instances, cannibalism (the ultimate match in predator–prey stoichiometry) results in enhanced predator survival and performance (Spence and Carcamo 1991, Wissinger et al. 1996, Snyder et al. 2000).”
Susceptibility of immature monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Danainae), to predation by Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (2003, unknown): “axyridis larvae are known cannibals (Snyder et al., 2000).”
