anthropogenic factors. One of these factors is the use of insecticides to protect plants from …

Olfactory circuits change structurally and physiologically during development and adult life.
This allows insects to respond to olfactory cues in an appropriate and adaptive way …

Pesticide resistance development is an example of rapid contemporary evolution that poses
immense challenges for agriculture. It typically evolves due to the strong directional …

There is clear evidence for sublethal effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on non-target
ecosystem service-providing insects. However, their possible impact on male insect …

Neonicotinoids are widely used insecticides, but their use is subject of debate because of

Exposure to agrochemical sprays containing pesticides and tank-mix adjuvants has been
implicated in post-bloom mortality, particularly of brood, in honey bee colonies brought into …

High amounts of stress are harmful to organisms, but in low amounts may stimulate certain
biological processes. This biphasic response to a stressor, termed 'hormesis', has been …

Chemical pesticides are widely used to manage the population of arthropod pests. Their
increasing use in agriculture has raised concerns about their harmful effects on nontarget …

Neonicotinoid pesticides are well-known for their sublethal effects on insect behavior and
