Pharmacophore of neonicotinoid insecticides

Journal of Pesticide Science, 2008
Our recent study related to neonicotinoid pharmacophore was presented. The first topic described on the QSAR study with 17 variants of 2-nitroiminoimizolidine. The insect neuroblocking potency is proportionally related both to the Mulliken charge on the nitro oxygen atom and log P.

Dispersal responses of cereal aphids to wheat cultivar and planting configuration

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 2, September 2026.
Aphid dispersal responses were species‐specific, cultivar‐dependent and altered by virus infection status. Rhopalosiphum padi preferentially colonised Maris Huntsman, but the presence of Wolverine plants disrupted arrestment and produced spatially uniform dispersal resembling that on Wolverine monocultures.

Establishing Baseline Information for the Risk of Flatheaded Borer Attack in Specialty Tree Crops Using Trapping and On‐Farm Surveys

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 8, Page 1088-1101, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Flatheaded borers (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) are largely xylophagous insects. Larvae of flatheaded borers tunnel into the trunks of trees, with boring and feeding damage eventually appearing on the surface as discolored bark, sunken areas, bark splits or bark sloughing.

Species composition of blow flies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) colonizing pig carcasses exposed to bifenthrin‐ and clothianidin‐containing products

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 574-581, September 2026.
High clothianidin concentrations prevented colonization, while bifenthrin showed a non‐significant trend of reduced fly abundance, indicating both insecticides may suppress blow fly activity on treated carcasses. Adult emergence rates were unaffected, with no statistically significant differences observed across insecticide treatments, suggesting ...

Ingestion of attractive toxic sugar baits containing ivermectin before and after blood feeding affects the biology and reproduction of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 551-559, September 2026.
Attractive toxic sugar bait containing ivermectin (ATSB‐IVM) ingestion markedly reduced blood feeding, survival, oviposition, egg production and larval hatching, with the strongest effects when baits were ingested before blood feeding. Timing of ingestion (48–96 h before or after blood feeding) shaped sublethal impacts across the first and second ...

Neonicotinoid contamination in conservation areas affects bees more sharply than beetles

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The neurotoxic insecticide class of neonicotinoids has become one of the most widely used groups of pesticides globally. Their long half-lives and high water solubility increase their potential to linger and affect numerous organisms long after ...

Oxidative stress in honey bees (Apis mellifera) and small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) across different landscapes

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 526-536, September 2026.
First comparative study in oxidative stress between wild bees and managed bees. Bees collected from organic landscapes exhibited the lowest OX levels. Pesticide profiles were different among landscapes. Abstract Oxidative stress (OX) is a state of imbalance between antioxidants and reactive oxygen species, which are the byproducts of oxidative ...

Valorization of Ficus carica Pruning Residues as Selective Botanical Insecticides: Optimized Furanocoumarin Extraction, Efficacy Against Neotropical Stink Bugs, and Mechanistic Insights via Molecular Docking

Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.
Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Alternative Developmental Toxicity Screening Methods Using Chick Embryo‐Based Models

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 8, Page 2640-2649, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Nonclinical developmental toxicity studies are used to investigate the potential toxicities of drugs and chemical candidates on normal embryonic and fetal development during pregnancy, generally using mammalian laboratory animals such as rats and rabbits.

Omics Insights Into the Effects of Highbush Blueberry and Cranberry Crop Agroecosystems on Honey Bee Health and Physiology

PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 8, Page 41-57, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.
