A defect in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis impairs iron metabolism and causes elevated ceramide levels
In most eukaryotic cells, fatty acid synthesis (FAS) occurs in the cytoplasm and in
mitochondria. However, the relative contribution of mitochondrial FAS (mtFAS) to the cellular …

Pervasive sublethal effects of agrochemicals on insects at environmentally relevant concentrations
Insect biomass is declining globally, likely driven by climate change and pesticide use, yet
systematic studies on the effects of various chemicals remain limited. In this work, we used a …

Pollen protein and lipid content influence resilience to insecticides in honey bees (Apis mellifera)
MK Crone, CM Grozinger - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2021 - journals.biologists.com
In honey bees (Apis mellifera), there is growing evidence that the impacts of multiple
stressors can be mitigated by quality nutrition. Pollen, which is the primary source of protein …

Bees exposed to climate change are more sensitive to pesticides
Bee populations are exposed to multiple stressors, including land‐use change, biological
invasions, climate change, and pesticide exposure, that may interact synergistically. We …
