Effects of chronic exposure to clothianidin on the earthworm Lumbricus terrestris

PeerJ, 2017
Although neonicotinoids are targeted at insects, their predominant use as a seed dressing and their long persistence in soils mean that non-target soil organisms such as earthworms are likely to be chronically exposed to them. Chronic exposure may pose risks that are not evaluated in most toxicity tests.

Biofilms, Bugs, and the Built Environment: Exploring Local and Landscape Drivers of Diatom and Macroinvertebrate Assemblages in Urban Stormwater Ponds

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 7, July 2026.
Urban stormwater ponds support pollution‐tolerant diatom and macroinvertebrate assemblages that are shaped more by local water quality, contaminants, and habitat features than by surrounding land use. Integrating biological monitoring can better inform stormwater management and urban biodiversity planning.

Uptake and toxicity of clothianidin to monarch butterflies from milkweed consumption

PeerJ, 2020
Recent concern for the adverse effects from neonicotinoid insecticides has centered on risk for insect pollinators in general and bees specifically. However, natural resource managers are also concerned about the risk of neonicotinoids to conservation efforts for the monarch butterfly ( Danaus plexippus

Insecticides alter wild and managed pollination dynamics on oil crop yield

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our results show that combining honey bee hives with insecticide use does not automatically enhance crop yield. Pollination outcomes are strongly scale‐ and context‐dependent, with wild pollinators providing disproportionately important services. Agricultural management should therefore prioritize integrated strategies that reduce pesticide pressure ...

Symbiont‐Mediated Detoxification of Xenobiotics in Honey Bees

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 7, July 2026.
This Opinion proposes that honey bee detoxification should be viewed as a holobiont trait. Gut microbes can transform selected ingested xenobiotics and modulate host detoxification pathways, providing a basis for microbial biotechnology strategies to protect pollinators.

Microbial Pressure and Social Immunity: Bumble Bees Increase Brood Hygiene After Exposure to a Bacillus thuringiensis‐Based Biopesticide

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
In social insect colonies, diseased or dead brood is identified and removed by workers to prevent the infection of the whole colony. Here, bumble bee larvae exposed to a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. aizawai (strain: ABTS‐1857)) based biopesticide were removed more frequently than wounded or untreated control larvae. This shows that bumble bee

Clothianidin-resistant Anopheles gambiae adult mosquitoes from Yaoundé, Cameroon, display reduced susceptibility to SumiShield® 50WG, a neonicotinoid formulation for indoor residual spraying

BMC Infectious Diseases
Background Chronic exposure of mosquito larvae to pesticide residues and cross-resistance mechanisms are major drivers of tolerance to insecticides used for vector control.

Assessment of the scientific information from the Italian project “APENET” investigating effects on honeybees of coated maize seeds with some neonicotinoids and fipronil

EFSA Journal, 2012
The European Food Safety Authority was asked by the European Commission to assess the scientific information on some neonicotinoids (i.e. thiamethoxam, clothianidin and imidacloprid) and fipronil gathered by the Italian authorities with a funded project ...

Statistical Optimization of Vegetable Washwater Treatment Using Electrocoagulation

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 6, June 2026.
Optimized electrocoagulation (0.32 A, 8.8 min, aluminum electrode) effectively removes suspended solids, turbidity, and COD from four types of raw vegetable washwaters. This provides a simple, robust solution for treating and reusing these agricultural effluents.

Plant species and floral traits shape arthropod communities in prairie plantings more than neonicotinoid contamination

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Agricultural practices are significant drivers of biodiversity loss, leading to reductions in ecological function and services across regions. To mitigate these effects, habitat restorations within agroecosystems have gained prominence as a strategy to enhance ecological stability and increase biodiversity.
