Is Apis mellifera more sensitive to insecticides than other insects?
BACKGROUND Honey bees (Apis mellifera L.) are among the most important pollinators in natural and agricultural settings. They commonly encounter insecticides, and the effects of insecticides on honey bees have been frequently noted. It has been suggested that honey bees may be (as a species) uniquely sensitive to insecticides, although no comparative toxicology study has been undertaken to exam...
متن کاملThe risk of insecticides to pollinating insects
A key new risk to our pollinators has been identified as exposure to neonicotinoid insecticides. These discoveries have refuelled the debate over whether or not the neonicotinoid insecticides should be banned and conflicting evidence is used in this battle. However, the issue is not black or white, but gray. It is not an issue of whether the neonicotinoids are toxic to insects or not. Clearly, ...

متن کاملWhy are there no insects in the open sea?
The air-filled tracheal respiratory system of insects prevents them from diving deeply in water. It is argued that this is the major factor in preventing insects from colonizing the open sea: they cannot descend sufficiently deeply in the daytime to escape being eaten by fish.
متن کاملComparative Toxicity of Pyrethroid Insecticides to Terrestrial and Aquatic Insects
The acute toxicities of three pyrethroid insecticides (permethrin, cypermethrin, and bifenthrin) and one organophosphate insecticide (chlorpyrifos) were compared by topical application and static exposure to a variety of terrestrial and aquatic insects. Mayflies and damselflies were the most susceptible taxa tested by both exposure methods. The aquatic insects were generally more susceptible th...
