Frye, S.M., Smith, S.M., & Thomas, S.C. 2026 Canopy position and tree size structure the distribution of honeydew-producing scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) in a temperate hardwood forest. Ecological Entomology DOI: 10.1111/een.70144

Keywords:

  • biological distribution
  • ecology
  • honeydew

    • Notes: Within-tree habitat heterogeneity, rather than tree-level traits, drives the spatial structure of scale insect communities, with implications for the distribution of honeydew resources supporting canopy-dependent arthropods.
