“…Another possible explanation for the observed results is that artificial selection for reduced flight ability may affect the function involved with host searching in H. axyridis. Prey search and feeding durations for pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) tend to be longer in a flightless strain of H. axyridis than in a control strain (Tourniaire et al, 1999).…”

“…Augmentative biological control of ladybirds has been hampered by the tendency of adults to disperse because they are good flyers (Obata, 1986;Hodek et al, 1993;Tourniaire et al, 1999;Dixon, 2000). Marples et al (1993) suggested that if ladybirds were poor flyers they would remain on a crop for longer and have potential in the long-term control of aphids.…”

The effects of artificial selection for reduced flight ability on the survival rate and fecundity of the ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis were assessed. The hatching rate, emergence rate and fecundity of the flightless strain were significantly lower than the control in the 36th generation after artificial selection was started under laboratory conditions. In greenhouses containing cultivated eggplant in which the flightless strain was released, the incidence of fourth instar larvae, i.e., offspring of released adults, was delayed for 7 days compared with the control and commercial strain. These results suggest that artificial selection for reduced flight ability reduces the survival and reproductive characteristics of H. axyridis.

“…The laboratory colony of the flightless strain of H. axyridis (Ferran et al, 1998;Tourniaire et al, 2000) was started in 2002. The coccinellids were maintained in Plexiglas cages and fed on E. kuehniella eggs as described by Schanderl et al (1988).…”

“…A natural flightless mutation was selected in a laboratory population (Ferran et al, 1998;Tourniaire Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology May 2008May et al, 2000 to increase the efficiency of H. axyridis in biological control and limit its ability to become established during winter. H. axyridis can be reared in large numbers with lepidopteran eggs (Ephestia kuehniella Zeller) as a substitute for prey (Schanderl et al, 1988).…”

Biological and biochemical parameters of a flightless strain of Harmonia axyridis, fed on a pork liver-based artificial diet and on Ephestia kuehniella eggs as controls, were compared. The diet-grown larvae showed a significantly longer developmental time and a lower adult emergence rate compared to control larvae. The weights of the newly emerged adults were significantly higher for adults fed E. kuehniella eggs during their larval stages than fed the artificial diet. In contrast, larval food source had no effect on the duration of the pre-oviposition period or adult longevity. For adults fed on E. kuehniella eggs as larvae, a significantly longer pre-oviposition period, lower daily weight gain and fecundity were found for the diet-fed females compared to those fed on E. kuehniella eggs throughout the life span. The adult food source had no significant effect on longevity and fertility. Lower amino acid and fatty acid contents (in particular C16:1 and C18:3n-3) were found for the prepupae and newly emerged females obtained from diet-reared larvae compared to controls. Deficiencies in fatty acids C16:1 and C18:3n-3 were also observed in females obtained from E. kuehniella egg-reared larvae and fed on diet from adult emergence. The analyses of the foods showed deficiencies in artificial diet, especially for some amino and fatty acids. The results suggest a non-optimal composition of the artificial diet and some possibilities for its improvement. However, this polyphagous predator could be reared from first instar larvae to fully reproductive adults on a pork liver-based artificial diet.

“…To improve their efficacy in augmentative biological control, a flightless strain was developed. The biology of the flightless strain is similar to the wild type, except for the inability to fly and a slightly longer prey handling time (Tourniaire et al, 1999, Tourniaire et al, 2000. Weissenberger et al (1999) showed that a flightless strain of H. axyridis can be effectively used for augmentative biological control of P. humuli in hops.…”
