The environmental risks of neonicotinoid pesticides: a review of the evidence post 2013
Neonicotinoid pesticides were first introduced in the mid-1990s, and since then, their use
has grown rapidly. They are now the most widely used class of insecticides in the world, with …

Do novel insecticides pose a threat to beneficial insects?
Systemic insecticides, such as neonicotinoids, are a major contributor towards beneficial
insect declines. This has led to bans and restrictions on neonicotinoid use globally, most …

Toxic temperatures: Bee behaviours exhibit divergent pesticide toxicity relationships with warming
Climate change and agricultural intensification are exposing insect pollinators to
temperature extremes and increasing pesticide usage. Yet, we lack good quantification of …

Quantifying the impact of pesticides on learning and memory in bees
Most insecticides are insect neurotoxins. Evidence is emerging that sublethal doses of these
neurotoxins are affecting the learning and memory of both wild and managed bee colonies …
