Combined stress from parasites, pesticides and lack of flowers drives bee declines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Bees are subject to numerous pressures in the modern world. The abundance and diversity of flowers has declined, bees are chronically exposed to cocktails of agrochemicals, and they are simultaneously exposed to novel parasites accidentally spread by ...

Potential effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on northern bobwhites

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) populations have been declining in Texas, USA, for nearly 3 decades. Reasons for the decline are unclear; however, a variety of factors have been considered, including pesticides and other environmental ...

Circadian rhythms in insecticide susceptibility, metabolic enzyme activity, and gene expression in Cimex lectularius (Hemiptera: Cimicidae). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Many insect species display daily variation of sensitivity to insecticides when they are exposed to the same concentration at different times during the day. To date, this has not been investigated in bed bugs.

Aquatic-Terrestrial Insecticide Fluxes: Midges as Neonicotinoid Vectors

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2022
Abstract Exposure of freshwater ecosystems to insecticides can negatively impact the development of emerging aquatic insects. These insects serve as an important nutritional subsidy for terrestrial insectivores. Changes in insect emergence phenology (i.e., emergence success and temporal pattern) or fluxes of insecticides retained by the ...

Combined nutritional stress and a new systemic pesticide (flupyradifurone, Sivanto®) reduce bee survival, food consumption, flight success, and thermoregulation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Flupyradifurone (FPF, Sivanto®) is a new butenolide insecticide that, like the neonicotinoids, is a systemic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonist.

Environmental fate of soil applied neonicotinoid insecticides in an irrigated potato agroecosystem.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Since 1995, neonicotinoid insecticides have been a critical component of arthropod management in potato, Solanum tuberosum L. Recent detections of neonicotinoids in groundwater have generated questions about the sources of these contaminants and the ...

Newer characters, same story: neonicotinoid insecticides disrupt food webs through direct and indirect effects.

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Insect Science, 2021
During the Green Revolution, older classes of insecticides contributed to biodiversity loss by decreasing insect populations and bioaccumulating across food webs.

Study on the Dynamic Difference between Single and Mixed Residues of Three Neonicotinoids in Brassica chinensis L.

open access: yesMolecules, 2021
Multiple insecticides’ residues after the mixed application of several neonicotinoids cause combined pollution and bring new challenges to food safety and pest control during agricultural production.

Sub-lethal concentrations of neonicotinoid insecticides at the field level affect negatively honey yield: Evidence from a 6-year survey of Greek apiaries.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The threats posed by neonicotinoid insecticides to bee populations have been the focus of considerable research. Previous work has shed new light on the effects of neonicotinoids on bees by uncovering pathways through which neonicotinoids affect bee ...
