The reasons for the evolution and maintenance of striking visual phenotypes are as widespread as the species that display these phenotypes. While study systems such asHeliconiusandDendrobatidaehave been well characterized and provide critical information about the evolution of these traits, a breadth of new study systems, in which the phenotype of interest can be easily manipulated and quantified, are essential for gaining a more general understanding of these specific evolutionary processes. One such model is the multicolored Asian lady beetle,Harmonia axyridis, which displays significant elytral spot and color polymorphism. Using transcriptome data from two life stages, adult and larva, we characterize the transcriptome, thereby laying a foundation for further analysis and identification of the genes responsible for the continual maintenance of spot variation inH. axyridis.

The multicolored Asian lady beetle, Harmonia axyridis, is a significant pest for eastern U.S. and Ontario wine makers, but the timing of beetle infestation and its interaction with grape injury are unclear. The authors present results showing the influence of freshly injured berries on H. axyridis infestations in wine grapes, and how this relationship affects the management of H. axyridis. Accepted for publication 17 April 2006. Published 7 June 2006.
