“…Evans (2000) revealed that predators prefer to lay eggs in regions with a high abundance of prey items to ensure an adequate food supply for their progeny. Additionally, some vulnerable juveniles complete their development quickly to minimize the risk of self-predation (Santos et al, 2013). The data presented herein confirm that biological parameters (e.g., developmental duration, adult longevity, and reproduction) of C. septempunctata are considerably manipulated by the type of prey species.…”

Background The demographic parameters of the predacious seven spotted ladybird beetle Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) reared on the following four host aphid species were compared: Rhopalosiphum padi Linnaeus (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Rhopalosiphum maidis Fitch (Hemiptera: Aphididae), Sitobion avenae Fabricius (Hemiptera: Aphididae), and Schizaphis graminum Rondani (Hemiptera: Aphididae). Methods The developmental period, fecundity, adult preoviposition period, total preoviposition period and population parameters were evaluated based on the two-sex age-stage life table. The duration of the developmental stages and the population parameters were calculated with the TWOSEX-MSChart program, whereas population size was projected based on the two-sex age-stage life table data with the TIMING-MSChart program. Results The intrinsic rate of increase (r) was the highest in the R. padi predators (0.1946 per day), followed by the S. graminum (0.1435 per day), S. avenae (0.1400 per day), and R. maidis (0.1180 per day) predators. The differences in the net reproductive rate (R0) and the finite rate of increase (λ) when C. septempunctata was reared on the four aphid species were consistent with the r values. This trend was reversed for the mean generation time (T), which ranged from 29.02 days for the lady beetles reared on R. padi to 39.75 days for the lady beetles reared on R. maidis. Interestingly, R. padi was the most suitable host, while the congeneric R. maidis was the least suitable. The results of this study may be useful for future investigations regarding the ecological effects of predatory species and the mass-production of C. septempunctata in the laboratory for an augmentative release of an aphid predator.

“…Assuming a water content to wet mass ratio of 0.7 (Sabo et al., ), dry mass was then converted to wet mass by dividing by 0.3. When mass was available for adults but not instars, we calculated instar mass by multiplying adult mass by the average per cent of adult mass for the second, third or fourth instars of Cycloneda sanguinea , Harmonia axyridis and Hippodamia convergens as given in Dos Santos, dos Santos‐Cividanes, Cividanes, and de Matos ().…”

Multiple factors, including arena size, shape the functional responses of ladybird beetles

Functional response studies are often used to determine the suitability of predators as biocontrol agents. Ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are often used for the control of crop pests such as aphids. However, most functional response studies on coccinellids compare a limited number of species at different life stages, temperatures or sexes. A large‐scale comparison of ladybird beetle functional responses is needed to evaluate the utility of these species as potential biocontrol predators and to understand the traits that influence the interaction strength between ladybird beetles and their prey. We compiled 158 ladybird beetle functional responses from 30 studies and tested for effects of taxa, traits, temperature and arena size on functional response parameters using linear mixed‐effects models. Our results show that functional response parameters (handling time and space clearance rate) are affected by predator stage, predator mass, prey type, temperature and arena size. Although complicated by interaction terms, space clearance rate generally increased with predator size, temperature and predator stage, while handling time decreased with predator size, temperature and predator stage. Coleopteran prey induced the highest handling times. Our results also show that experimental arena size has a large, consistent effect on space clearance rate. Arena size is more important in determining foraging rates at low prey densities than any other factor considered here, including predator mass and temperature. Efforts to use laboratory‐based functional response experiments to evaluate the efficacy of biocontrol predators are therefore confounded by the choice of arena size. Synthesis and applications. In addition to confirming known body mass and temperature effects, our study reveals previously unclear age‐related effects and the importance of prey types, which can be used to optimize biocontrol programmes. The arena size effect is unexpected and problematic because failure to account for arena size precludes accurate comparison of biocontrol predator effectiveness. We suggest managers and biocontrol practitioners re‐evaluate the efficacy of candidate biocontrol predators, perhaps by statistically controlling for arena size to minimize the influence of this widely unconsidered factor on functional response estimates.

“…Sin embargo, otros investigadores han registrado una mayor longevidad para otras especies de cocciné-lidos tales como O. v-nigrum (65 días) y C. sanguinea (75,7 días) sobre H. cubana y A. craccivora, respectivamente (Chazeau et al 1991, Solano et al 2016. En relación a la oviposición y viabilidad de los huevos, O. timberlakei mostro valores similares a los reportados por Dos Santos et al (2013) para C. sanguinea sobre S. graminum (15,3 huevos/día y 88%) y por Zazycki et al (2015) para O. v-nigrum sobre A. kuehniella (11,51 huevos/día y 70%).…”

En Venezuela, Olla timberlakei Vandenberg, 1992 ha sido observado depredando ninfas de Psyllidae asociadas al roble, Platymiscium diadelphum S.F. Blake. Esta investigación se realizó para identificar al psílido y determinar la biología del depredador. Se recolectaron los insectos sobre árboles de roble en Tarabana (500 m, Palavecino) y Barquisimeto (500 m, Iribarren) estado Lara, Venezuela. La biología de O. timberlakei se determinó en laboratorio. El psílido pertenece al género Platycorypha Tuthill, 1945. El ciclo de vida del depredador fue de 11,47±0,65 días, con duración de huevo, larva y pupa de 2,56±0,32; 8,53±0,59 y 2,94±0,18 días, respectivamente. La longevidad de hembras fue 44,50±13,71 días, con oviposición diaria de 14,76±3,05 huevos con 82,80±5,39% de viabilidad.
