Risks of neonicotinoid insecticides to honeybees [PDF]
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2014 Abstract The European honeybee, Apis mellifera, is an important pollinator of agricultural crops. Since 2006, when unexpectedly high colony losses were first reported, articles have proliferated in the popular press suggesting a range of possible causes and raising alarm over the general decline of ...

Neonicotinoid insecticides alter induced defenses and increase susceptibility to spider mites in distantly related crop plants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Chemical suppression of arthropod herbivores is the most common approach to plant protection. Insecticides, however, can cause unintended, adverse consequences for non-target organisms.

The sublethal effects of neonicotinoids on spiders are independent of their nutritional status
Scientific Reports, 2021 Spiders were recently shown to be adversely affected by field-realistic concentrations of a broad scale of neonicotinoid insecticides. Among the reported effects of neonicotinoids on invertebrates were declines in lipid biosynthesis and upregulation of β-

Adsorption and degradation of neonicotinoid insecticides in agricultural soils
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022 Abstract The adsorption and degradation of seven commercially available neonicotinoid insecticides in four types of agricultural soils from three states (Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee) in the United States were studied. The adsorptions of all the neonicotinoids fit a linear isotherm.

Reactivity of neonicotinoid insecticides with carbonate radicals [PDF]
Water Research, 2012 The reaction of three chloronicotinoid insecticides, namely Imidacloprid (IMD), Thiacloprid (THIA) and Acetamiprid (ACT), with carbonate radicals (CO·₃⁻) was investigated. The second order rate constants (4 ± 1) × 10⁶, (2.8 ± 0.5) × 10⁵, and (1.5 ± 1) × 10⁵ M⁻¹ s⁻¹ were determined for IMD, THIA and ACT, respectively.
