Combined neonicotinoid pesticide and parasite stress alter honeybee queens’ physiology and survival
Honeybee colony survival strongly relies on the queen to overcome worker losses exposed to combined stressors like pesticides and parasites. Queen's capacity to withstand these stressors is however very little known. The effects of the common neonicotinoid pesticide imidacloprid in a chronic and sublethal exposure together with the wide distributed parasite Nosema ceranae have therefore been in...
متن کاملChronic neonicotinoid pesticide exposure and parasite stress differentially affects learning in honeybees and bumblebees.
Learning and memory are crucial functions which enable insect pollinators to efficiently locate and extract floral rewards. Exposure to pesticides or infection by parasites may cause subtle but ecologically important changes in cognitive functions of pollinators. The potential interactive effects of these stressors on learning and memory have not yet been explored. Furthermore, sensitivity to s...
متن کاملNeonicotinoid pesticides severely affect honey bee queens
Queen health is crucial to colony survival of social bees. Recently, queen failure has been proposed to be a major driver of managed honey bee colony losses, yet few data exist concerning effects of environmental stressors on queens. Here we demonstrate for the first time that exposure to field-realistic concentrations of neonicotinoid pesticides during development can severely affect queens of...

The midgut proteinases from a Bacillus thuringiensis-susceptible (IA-S) and four laboratory-selected resistant strains (KS-SC, KS-NE, IA-1, and IA-3) of European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) were characterized using three synthetic substrates, Na-benzoyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide (BApNA) for trypsin-like, Nsuccinyl-ala-ala-pro-phe p-nitroanilide (SAAPFpNA) for chymotrypsin-like, and N-succin...

Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae) that were fed fipronil bait produced liquid excretions that were toxic to conspecifics. We have used a combination of analytical and behavioral assays to localize the source, to elucidate the time course, and to evaluate the role of these excretions in facilitation of secondary kill. Fipronil excretion coincided with the onset of the paralyti...
