Effect of a Marking Pheromone and Population Density on Ladybird Larval Development and Adult Body Mass
Females of predaceous ladybirds use sensing chemicals in larval tracks as an oviposition-deterring pheromone to avoid cannibalism of eggs. We hypothesized that larvae would also respond to the presence of conspecific tracks by slowing their developmental rate and delaying pupation, thereby reducing...
