Abstract: Feeding potential and foraging behaviour are two important factors which determine the predator’s efficiency of managing prey. Predator-prey system of Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius) and Aphis gossypii Glover was evaluated to find out the predation efficiency.… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT In aphidophagous ladybird beetles, amputation of limbs in the larval stage leads to limb regeneration in adults. Regeneration is an energetically expensive phenomenon, and altering prey species may have profound consequences on this process.… read more here.
