Sublethal Effects of Neonicotinoids: How Physiological and Behavioral Disruptions in Non-Target Insects Threaten Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services [PDF]

Insects
Neonicotinoid insecticides were initially hailed as safer alternatives to organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides due to their perceived lower toxicity to non-target organisms.

Molecular Imprinting Polymer-Based Sensing of Neonicotinoids [PDF]

Sensors
Neonicotinoids are a novel class of insecticides that exhibit environmental persistence and off-target effects on both humans and ecosystems. Therefore, there is a need for sensitive and selective sensors to monitor concentrations of neonicotinoids in ...

Exposure of pregnant women to neonicotinoids in Wenzhou City, East China: A biomonitoring study

Environment International
Background: China produces and consumes a large amount of neonicotinoids. A non-negligible exposure to neonicotinoids might occur for Chinese pregnant women, but relevant data remain limited.

Dietary exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides and health risks in the Chinese general population through two consecutive total diet studies

Environment International, 2020
Neonicotinoid insecticides are ubiquitous in food and the environment due to their wide use. Growing evidence suggests the adverse effects of neonicotinoids in many species, including mammals.

Neonicotinoids impact bumblebee colony fitness in the field; a reanalysis of the UK’s Food & Environment Research Agency 2012 experiment [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
The causes of bee declines remain hotly debated, particularly the contribution of neonicotinoid insecticides. In 2013 the UK’s Food & Environment Research Agency made public a study of the impacts of exposure of bumblebee colonies to neonicotinoids.

Meta-analysis reveals that seed-applied neonicotinoids and pyrethroids have similar negative effects on abundance of arthropod natural enemies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
Background Seed-applied neonicotinoids are widely used in agriculture, yet their effects on non-target species remain incompletely understood. One important group of non-target species is arthropod natural enemies (predators and parasitoids), which ...
