Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) are economically important invasive pests that cause substantial losses in agricultural and horticultural crops worldwide. However, information on their diversity, genetic variation, and population structure in India remains limited. This study investigated the diversity, phylogenetic relationships, and population genetic structure of economically important...
