Ageing trajectory and longevity trade-off in an aphidophagous ladybird, Propylea dissecta (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

The ageing trajectory (trend in ageing) and reproduction-longevity trade-off in both sexes of the ladybird Propylea dissecta were studied. The ageing trajectories of both sexes were investigated in terms of reproductive performance, using initial oviposition (egg laying within 24 h of mating) acting...
