Ladybird beetles' life history traits
<p>1. The balance between risk and benefit of exploiting resources drives life history evolution in organisms. Predators are naturally recognized as major drivers of the life history evolution of their prey. Although prey may also influence the life history evolution of their predators in the context of an evolutionary arms race, there is far more evidence of the role of predators than of prey. </p> <p>2. The goal of this study was to investigate the role of prey in life history evolution of predators using ladybird beetle predators of aphids and coccids. These particular ladybirds and their prey were chosen because literature shows that the pace of life of aphids is faster than that of coccids and this difference is reflected in the life histories of the ladybirds that specialize on feeding on aphids or coccids.</p> <p>3. Thirty-four species of ladybird predators of aphids and eight of coccids belonging to five different tribes were collected and reared in the laboratory. The females were weighed as well as their eggs, and their reproductive investment estimated as the number of ovarioles. Phylogenetic relatedness was controlled for in the statistical analyses.</p> <p>4. Controlling for female mass revealed that ladybird predators of aphids lay bigger eggs than ladybird predators of coccids. This difference is not influenced by phylogenetic relatedness but only by the type of prey eaten. We suggest that ladybird predators of coccids lay smaller eggs because neonate larvae do not have to search, catch, and subdue prey. Both types of ladybirds have a similar reproductive investment relative to their body mass when phylogeny is controlled for. </p> <p>5. Recognizing the influence of prey on the life history evolution of predators is important for understanding food web dynamics. From an applied perspective, this fine evolutionary tuning of prey-predator relationships should be used to guide and increase the efficiency of biological control programmes.</p>

SILAM CTM simulations for the arrival of an invasive ladybird (Harmonia axyridis) to the UK for years 2004 and 2005
<p>The first Harlequin ladybirds (<em>Harmonia axyridis</em>) arrived to the UK in 2004 and 2005. The dataset presents the SILAM atmospheric chemical transport model (CTM) simulatios of the arrival of<em> H. axyridis</em> to the UK in 2004 and 2005 and inverse CTM simulations from the first<em> H. axyridis</em> recods in 2004.</p> <p>These SILAM simulations are theoretical. They are intended to help assess whether it was possible for ladybirds to fly over the English Channel.</p> <p><strong>LadybirdsSILAMforward.tar </strong>includes SILAM CTM forward simulation for 2004 and 2005. PM10 and PM2.5 particles represent ladybirds. The source is daily 5 -18 UTC from some cities in France, Belgium and Netherlands.
