- agroecologist · plausible
“Harmonia axyridis is a globally documented aphidophagous predator and olfactory cueing including alarm pheromones is well established in coccinellid foraging literature.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Adult and larval predation of aphids by H. axyridis with kairomonal response to E-beta-farnesene and aphid alarm pheromones is canonical coccinellid biology.”
