• Biotic and Abiotic Factors Associated with Colonies Mortalities of Managed Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) (2019, background): “It has been suggested that there is a risk of honey bee survival if honey bees collect and drink water from water puddles in crops treated with neonicotinoid insecticides [89].”
• Microbial degradation of imidacloprid and toxicological analysis of its biodegradation metabolites in silkworm (Bombyx mori) (2013, background): “Superior physiochemical properties of imidacloprid allow it to be applied in a number of ways including foliar, seed and stem application as well as soil drenching [5–7].”
• Systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil): trends, uses, mode of action and metabolites (2014, background): “The thiamethoxam metabolite, clothianidin, presents insecticidal activity (Nauen et al. 2003).”
• Sublethal neonicotinoid insecticide exposure reduces solitary bee reproductive success (2014, background): “First, thiamethoxam is partly metabolized into clothianidin within plants (Maienfisch et al., 2001; Nauen et al., 2003), such that both neonicotinoids generally co-occurr in nectar and pollen of treated crops (Dively & Kamel, 2012; Pohorecka et al.”
• Influence of combined pesticide and parasite exposure on bumblebee colony traits in the laboratory (2014, background): “A mixed diet of these two compounds was provided as both neonicotinoids will principally co-occur in nectar and pollen of crops treated with plant protection products containing thiamethoxam (Nauen et al. 2003; Dively & Kamel 2012; Pohorecka et al. 2012) and thus jointly be encountered by foraging p”
• Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates (2014, unknown): “Imidacloprid and thiamethoxam are metabolized into toxic metabolites that may potentially bind to different honeybee nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (Nauen et al. 2001; Suchail et al. 2001, 2004a; Nauen et al. 2003; Ford and Casida 2006; Benzidane et al. 2010; Casida 2011).”
• Neonicotinoids in bees: a review on concentrations, side-effects and risk assessment (2012, background): “Metabolites of neonicotinoids were shown to contribute to the toxicity (Table 3) (Nauen et al. 2001, 2003; Suchail et al. 2001; Decourtye et al. 2003) except for acetamiprid with none of the metabolites being toxic (Iwasa et al. 2004).”
• Environmental fate and exposure; neonicotinoids and fipronil (2014, background): “In fact, the amount of imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, or their active metabolites translocated by the phloem seems to be high enough to achieve effective aphid mortality, considering that these insects are mainly phloem feeders (Nauen et al. 2003).”
