Notes: This study estimated the functional response and the variables of attack rate and manipulation time of lady beetles Tenuisvalvae notata (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) under conditions of low (16 and 18°C) and high (32 and 34 °C) temperatures, using 28 °C as the control (optimal) condition. https://doi.org/10.1080/09583157.2026.2645094
