Insect cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) perform a variety of important
physiological functions, but it is their role in the detoxification of xenobiotics, such as natural …

Neonicotinoids have been used to protect crops and animals from insect pests since the
1990s, but there are concerns regarding their adverse effects on nontarget organisms …

Insects are facing a multitude of anthropogenic stressors, and the recent decline in their
biodiversity is threatening ecosystems and economies across the globe. We investigated the …

Bumble bees (Bombus) are unusually important pollinators, with approximately 260 wild
species native to all biogeographic regions except sub-Saharan Africa, Australia, and New …

Neonicotinoids are derivatives of synthetic nicotinoids with better insecticidal capabilities,
including imidacloprid, nitenpyram, acetamiprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, and …

Bees are essential pollinators of many crops and wild plants, and pesticide exposure is one
of the key environmental stressors affecting their health in anthropogenically modified …

The regulatory process for assessing the risks of pesticides to bees relies heavily on the use
of the honeybee, Apis mellifera, as a model for other bee species. However, the validity of …

Declining insect population sizes are provoking grave concern around the world as insects
play essential roles in food production and ecosystems. Environmental contamination by …

Because it is only possible to test chemicals for effects on a restricted range of species and
exposure scenarios, ecotoxicologists are faced with a significant challenge of how to …

Here, we provide mechanistic support for the involvement of the CYP9A subfamily of
