The influence of female oviposition strategy on sibling cannibalism in the ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
I hypothesized that sibling cannibalism is one of maternal investment in that a female controls sibling cannibalism. To test the hypothesis, I conducted a laboratory experiment and field observations to investigate sibling cannibalism in relation to cluster size and cluster site in the ladybird beet...
