- Behavioral evolution in the major worker subcaste of twig-nesting Pheidole (Hymenoptera: Formicidae): does morphological specialization influence task plasticity? (2009, unknown): “…species (Jaenike 1990; Fry 1996; Timms and Read 1999; Novotny et al. 2002; Dyer et al. 2007) and other aspects of resource specialization (Wcislo and Cane 1996; Rana et al. 2002) to behavioral (Johnson 2003) and morphological specialization (Gronenberg et al. 1997; Gilbert and Jervis 1998).”
- Benefits and limitations of factitious prey and artificial diets on life parameters of predatory beetles, bugs, and lacewings: a mini-review (2009, background): “The ability of generalist predators to undergo adaptation to specific prey after several generations of exposure has been documented (Rana et al. 2002).”
- Preference-performance of a generalist predatory ladybird: A laboratory study (2005, background): “The costs and benefits of prey specialization have recently been studied and have indicated increasingly better performance of the predator on a poor aphid when reared continuously over six generations (Rana et al., 2002).”
- Intraguild predation between the aphidophagous ladybird beetles Harmonia axyridis and Coccinella undecimpunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae): the role of body weight (2004, unknown): “To avoid consanguinity and food adaptation, ladybeetles were fed ad libitum on a mixed diet (Rana et al., 2002) of the aphids Aphis fabae Scopoli and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, and field collected ladybeetles were added regularly to the stock culture.”
