Chronic exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide alters the interactions between bumblebees and wild plants
Insect pollinators are essential for both the production of a large proportion of world crops and the health of natural ecosystems. As important pollinators, bumblebees must learn to forage on flowers to feed both themselves and provision their colonies.Increased use of pesticides has caused concern over sublethal effects on bees, such as impacts on reproduction or learning ability. However, li...
متن کاملImpact of chronic exposure to a pyrethroid pesticide on bumblebees and interactions with a trypanosome parasite
1. Bees are exposed to pesticides when foraging in agricultural areas and growing evidence suggests that such compounds can be harmful to managed and wild populations. Given the economic and ecological importance of bees, and the evidence of widespread population declines, the full impacts of pesticides and their interactions with other stressors in the environment need to be investigated. 2. H...
متن کاملSulfoxaflor: Response to Public Comments on EPA’s “Proposed Registration of the New Active Ingredient Sulfoxaflor for Use on Multiple Commodities, Turfgrass, and Ornamentals” (Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0889)
Beyond Pesticides’ comment (Docket # EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0889-0384): Once again EPA is proposing to repeat missteps of the past by registering a pesticide known to be toxic to non-target organisms without all required data to ensure its safety. As already seen with the neonicotinoid, clothianidin, and the herbicide aminocyclopyrachlor (Imprelis®), conditional registration without relevant ecologica...
متن کاملEconomic and ecological perspectives of farmers on rice insect pest management
Understanding farmers’ perception is important in the development of sustainable and cost-effective integrated pest management strategies. Hence, farmers’ perception on rice insect pests and pesticide use was evaluated by selected 112 farmers composed of 77% males and 23% females, over the rice growing areas of North Cotabato, Central Mindanao, Philippines. 62% of farmers that were interviewed ...
متن کاملDetrimental interactions of neonicotinoid pesticide exposure and bumblebee immunity.
Pesticides are well known to have a number of ecological effects. However, it is only now becoming understood that sublethal exposures may have effects on nontarget insects of conservation concern through interactions with immunity, thus increasing detrimental impacts in the presence of pathogens. Pesticides and pathogens are suggested to have played a role in recent declines of several wild be...
