Szita, É., Gerő, K., Simon, J., & Kaydan, M.B. 2025 Integrative method to detect invasive mealybug (Hemiptera, Coccomorpha, Pseudococcidae) species on highways in Hungary: evidence for northward spread of Comstock mealybug. Biodiversity Data Journal 13: e163732

Keywords:

  • climate change
  • dispersal
  • distribution
  • phylogenetics
  • record

    • Notes: In this study, three potentially invasive mealybug species: Pseudococcus comstocki (Kuwana), Planococcus citri (Risso) and Planococcus ficus (Signoret) were monitored using a pheromone trap network along highways in Hungary during 2020–2021. Prior to this survey, none of these species had been detected under open-field conditions in Hungary. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.13.e163732
