Notes: This study aims to address the escalating threat posed by soft scales in apple orchards of the Western Himalayan cold desert Spiti, India, through a comprehensive morphological and molecular assessment of Eulecanium tiliae (L.), shedding light on its prevalence, impact, and genetic characterization within this unique ecological context. This finding is significant as there were no prior reports of such infestations in this region. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10341-025-01262-5
