Environmental fate and exposure; neonicotinoids and fipronil
Systemic insecticides are applied to plants using a wide variety of methods, ranging from foliar sprays to seed treatments and soil drenches. Neonicotinoids and fipronil are among the most widely used pesticides in the world. Their popularity is largely due to their high toxicity to invertebrates, the ease and flexibility with which they can be applied, their long persistence, and their systemi...
متن کاملBee afraid , bee very afraid - neonicotinoids and the nAChRs family
The reasons for the decline are currently not clear. However, some studies have linked the reduction in bee numbers to a widely-used class of pesticides, neonicotinoids, that have been broadly administered in large-scale crop production since the mid 1990’s – the same time that mass bee disappearances started to be reported 2. These nicotine-like chemicals, which include three key neonicotinoid...
متن کاملOverview of Recent Publications on Neonicotinoids and Pollinators
Several recently-published studies have reported on evaluations of the impact of neonicotinoid insecticides on pollinators,, often accompanied by considerable media attention claiming singular importance in explaining overall pollinator health status. These studies included evaluations of potential effects of sublethal doses of neonicotinoids on honey bees, the potential effects of exposure to ...
متن کاملDiverse actions and target-site selectivity of neonicotinoids: structural insights.
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are targets for human and veterinary medicines as well as insecticides. Subtype-selectivity among the diverse nAChR family members is important for medicines targeting particular disorders, and pest-insect selectivity is essential for the development of safer, environmentally acceptable insecticides. Neonicotinoid insecticides selectively targeting...
متن کاملEU ban puts spotlight on complex effects of neonicotinoids
The EU ban for the use of neonicotinoids in flowering crops that bees might visit has highlighted the unresolved scientific debates around these systemic pesticides. While the industry maintains that typical field concentrations aren’t toxic to honey bees, a growing body of independent research shows combination effects that may be just as devastating for bee colonies and wild pollinators. Mich...
