Host Plant Species Mediates Impact of Neonicotinoid Exposure to Monarch Butterflies
Insects, 2021 Neonicotinoids are the most widely used insecticides in North America. Numerous studies document the negative effects of neonicotinoids on bees, and it remains crucial to demonstrate if neonicotinoids affect other non-target insects, such as butterflies.

Impact of controlled neonicotinoid exposure on bumblebees in a realistic field setting [PDF]
, 2016 1. Pesticide exposure has been implicated as a contributor to insect pollinator declines. In social bees, which are crucial pollination service providers, the effect of low-level chronic exposure is typically non-lethal leading researchers to consider ...

Neonicotinoid Poisoning and Management
Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2019 Neonicotinoids are a newer class of insecticides, which act on postsynaptic nicotinic acetylcholine esterase receptors. Its use is gradually increasing over recent years due to its better safety profile compared to other commonly used pesticides like organophosphates, organochlorides, carbamates, and pyrethroids.
