The role of kairomones in prey finding by Diomus sp. and Exochomus sp. two coccinellid predators of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus manihoti
We studied searching behaviour of Diomus sp., a coccinellid predator introduced into Africa as a natural enemy of the cassava mealybug, when searching on cassava leaves, and compared its behaviour with the searching behaviour of Exochomus sp., an African predator of mealybugs (MB's). Female adults o...
