A Neonicotinoid Insecticide at a Rate Found in Nectar Reduces Longevity but Not Oogenesis in Monarch Butterflies, Danaus plexippus (L.). (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

open access: yesInsects, 2019
The monarch butterfly in North America has suffered a serious population decline since the mid-1990s. The introduction and widespread use of neonicotinoid insecticides during the same time period has been suggested as a potential driver of this decline ...

Analysis of Differentially Expressed Genes Related to Resistance in Spinosad- and Neonicotinoid-Resistant Musca domestica L. (Diptera: Muscidae) Strains. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
The housefly is a global pest that has developed resistance to most insecticides applied against it. Resistance of the spinosad-resistant strain 791spin and the neonicotinoid-resistant 766b strain is believed to be due to metabolism.

Advances in the Application of Biosensors for the Detection of Neonicotinoid Pesticide Residues [PDF]

open access: yesShipin Kexue
Excessive residues of neonicotinoid insecticides in food and environmental samples pose a serious threat to human health. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the detection capacity of neonicotinoid pesticide residues. Various biosensor-based platforms are

Neonicotinoid insecticides induce salicylate-associated plant defense responses [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
Neonicotinoid insecticides control crop pests based on their action as agonists at the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, which accepts chloropyridinyl- and chlorothiazolyl-analogs almost equally well. In some cases, these compounds have also been reported to enhance plant vigor and (a)biotic stress tolerance, independent of their ...

Aptamer-based biosensors for the detection of neonicotinoid insecticides in environmental samples: A systematic review.

open access: yesTalanta: The International Journal of Pure and Applied Analytical Chemistry
Neonicotinoids, sometimes abbreviated as neonics, represent a class of neuro-active insecticides with chemical similarities to nicotine. Neonicotinoids are the most widely adopted group of insecticides globally since their discovery in the late 1980s ...

Can crop disease control cope with climate change? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Crop yields need to increase by at least 70% over the next 35 years in order to meet the global demands for food due to the increasing population and changing dietary preferences towards meat and dairy products in developing nations.

Susceptibility of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) to Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam, Dinotefuran and Flupyradifurone in South Florida

open access: yesInsects, 2016
Populations of Bemisa tabaci MEAM1 were established from nineteen locations in south Florida, primarily from commercial tomato fields, and were tested using a cotton leaf petiole systemic uptake method for susceptibility to the nicotinic acetylcholine ...
