Life tables of Bactrocera cucurbitae (Diptera: Tephritidae): with an invalidation of the jackknife technique (2013, methodology): “If the survival curves were constructed based on the means of each stage or adult age (e.g. Marcic 2003, 2005; Legaspi 2004; Kontodimas and Stathas 2005; Legaspi and Legaspi 2005; Lin and Ren 2005; Liu 2005; Kivan and Kilic 2006; Tsoukanas et al. 2006), the stage overlap would not have been…”
Sublethal concentrations of thiamethoxam adversely affect life table parameters of the aphid predator, Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (2013, background): “Due to its large size and high feeding capacity, this generalist variegated beetle has been proposed as a valuable biological control agent (Kontodimas and Stathas, 2005).”
Life table and predation capacity of Hippodamia variegata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) feeding on Aphis fabae (Hemiptera: Aphididae) (2011, background): “variegata have been studied using traditional female age-specific life tables of individuals reared on several species of aphids including Dysaphis craraegi, Aphis gossypii,Myzus persicae, Brevicoryne brassicae, and Rhopalosiphum padi as prey on various crops under various environmental conditions (”
