TL;DR: In this paper, the problems of female age-specific life tables are examined, followed by a discussion of the advantages of using the two-sex life table in various types of entomological research.

Demography and Population Projection of Aphis fabae (Hemiptera: Aphididae): with Additional Comments on Life Table Research Criteria.
TL;DR: The population projection based on the age-stage, two-sex life table quantitatively revealed the growth potential and stage structure of the aphid and suggested the bootstrap method should be used to estimate the variance and SEs of developmental time, survival rate, fecundity, and population parameters.

Linking Demography and Consumption of Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Fed on Solanum photeinocarpum (Solanales: Solanaceae): With a New Method to Project the Uncertainty of Population Growth and Consumption
TL;DR: By using the bootstrap technique with 100,000 samples, it is demonstrated that the life tables constructed based on the 2.5th and 97.5 fourth percentiles of R0 and λ can be used to describe the variabilities found in the survival and fecundity curves and to project the uncertainty of population growth.

Native, insect herbivore communities derive a significant proportion of their carbon from a widespread invader of forest understories

TL;DR: Results show that M. vimineum can be a significant food resource for a multi-species, multi-guild, assemblage of native, invertebrate herbivores, and future work is required to assess whether M.vimineum is acquiring herbivors in other parts of its introduced range, and if so what might be the ecological consequences.
Demography and Mass-Rearing Harmonia dimidiata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Using Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) and Eggs of Bactrocera dorsalis (Diptera: Tephritidae).
Jih-Zu Yu,Bing-Huei Chen,Ali Güncan,Remzi Atlihan,Ayhan Gökçe,Cecil L. Smith,Ebru Gümüş,Hsin Chi +7 more
TL;DR: The mass-rearing analysis showed that the most economical rearing system was to rear larvae on A. gossypii and adults on B. dorsalis eggs because of the time and labor savings resulting from the ease of preparation and the ability to store the eggs for timely usage.
