The effect of the coccinellid Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
The coccinellid Harmonia axyridis is a recent arrival in the UK and is an intraguild predator of the entomopathogenic fungus Pandora neoaphidis. Harmonia axyridis entirely consumes P. neoaphidis-sporulating cadavers and this may have a negative effect on the epizootic potential of P. neoaphidis. Here we assessed within plant transmission, and between plant vectoring, of P. neoaphidis in the pre...
متن کاملOviposition preference of two hoverfly species in response to risk of intraguild predation
Two experiments were performed in the laboratory to understand the relationships between oviposition preference and larval performance of the two predatory hoverfly species, Episyrphus balteatus de Geer and Metasyrphus corollae Fabricius. We first conducted laboratory experiments to understand the nature and relative strengths of intraguild predation between the larvae of three ladybird species...
متن کاملBiochemical content in fatty acids and biological parameters of Harmonia axyridis reared on artificial diet
A flightless strain of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera Coccinellidae) was fed, at the larval and/or adult stage, on a liverbased artificial diet supplemented with lin-seed oil, which is rich in α-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3), an essential lipid for the fecundity of different insect species, and other unsaturated fatty acids. Biochemical analyses revealed that, compared to Ephestia kuehniell...
متن کاملLarval feeding on Bt hybrid and non-Bt corn seedlings by Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Coleomegilla maculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).
Zoophytophagy is an omnivorous activity that occurs when a primarily carnivorous species feeds on plant material. Plant feeding by beneficial predators may have negative consequences if the plant material has been chemically treated, contains toxins, or was transgenically altered. Although common in predaceous Hemiptera, zoophytophagy has been rarely studied in aphidophagous coccinellids. This ...
متن کاملLarval life history responses to food deprivation in three species of predatory lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).
We studied life history responses of larvae of three coccinellid species, Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer), Hippodamia convergens Guerin-Meneville, and Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), when deprived of food for different periods of time during the fourth stadium. The coccinellid species did not differ in starvation resistance when larvae were starved throughout the stadium; however, for larvae fed onl...
