Body size and the temporal sequence in the reproductive activity of two species of aphidophagous coccinellids exploiting the same resource

The hypothesis that small species of aphidophagous coccinellids need lower aphid population densities for reproduction than large species (Dixon, 2007) was tested in the field. In 2006 we compared seasonal changes in the oviposition behaviour of two coccinellid species regularly found in cereal stan...
