DNA barcoding reveals genetic divergence and phylogenetic relationships of Scymnus species (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) from Uzbekistan

Ladybird beetles of the genus Scymnus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are key predators in agroecosystems, but species-level identification remains challenging due to high morphological similarity among closely related taxa. Molecular data for Central Asian populations are scarce, li...
