Oviposition-deterring effects of conspecific and heterospecific larval tracks on Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

The oviposition deterring effects of fresh larval tracks of Cheilomenes sexmaculata (F.), Ceratomegilla undecimnotata (Schneider), Cycloneda limbifer Casey, and Harmonia dimidiata (F.) on C.sexmaculata females were compared in standard laboratory choice tests.Moreover, the persistence of intraspecific effects of C.sexmaculata larval tracks were inv
