Notes: This article evaluates information about non-native scale insect species in the U.S. to address the following questions. (1) Where have non-native species in the United States originated from and have trends in the region of origin changed over time? (2) Where are new species entering and establishing in the United States? (3) Are scale insect introduction rates tied to the volume of horticultural imports? (4) What are the major hosts and commodity groups impacted or at risk? And (5) what is the economic impact of invasive scale insects on U.S. agriculture? https://doi.org/10.1007/s10530-026-03784-9
