Ladybug taint (also known as ladybird taint) is a relatively recently recognized fault that has been identified in wines from wide range of terroirs. Alkyl-methoxypyrazines—particularly 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine—have determined the causal compounds, and these are introduced into grape must during processing, when specific species vineyard-dwelling Coccinellidae incorporated harvested fruit....

Species invading new geographic regions may threaten continued existence of similar, indigenous relatives, particularly those species whose rarity may reflect an already tenuous existence. The spectacular colonization of North America in recent decades by Coccinella septempunctata L. has generated widespread concern over potentially adverse effects on population viability of native species of l...

Bu çalışmada, 2021 ve 2022 yıllarında Çanakkale ili park, peyzaj kentsel alanlarında bulunan konukçu bitkiler üzerindeki afitler ile beslenen predatör coccinellidler coccinellid-afit-konukçu bitki etkileşimlerinin ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, 25 bitkideki 27 afit türü üzerinde olarak beslendiği tespit edilen Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) familyasına bağlı 6 cins içerisinde ...

Coccinella septempunctata is a nontarget beneficial arthropod and an important aphid predator in agricultural crops. In this study, the toxic effects of neonicotinoid acetamiprid on C. were investigated to determine its applicability efficacy against predator. The results toxicity test showed that second instar larvae most sensitive acetamiprid. LC50 values 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th 15.767, 9.412, 18....
