A review of the direct and indirect effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on vertebrate wildlife (2014, background): “Over the last 2 decades, a new class of insecticides, the neonicotinoids, has become the most important and fastest growing of the five major chemical classes of insecticides on the global market (Jeschke and Nauen 2008; Jeschke et al. 2011; Tomizawa and Casida 2011; Casida and Durkin 2013).”
Metabolomics in pesticide research and development: review and future perspectives (2011, background): “A number of such compounds and/or their chemical analogues have been successfully developed as crop protection agents (Lange and Lopez 1996; Thompson et al. 2000; Balba 2007; Copping and Duke 2007; Jeschke and Nauen 2008; Dayan et al. 2009; Huang et al. 2009).”
Neonicotinoid contamination of global surface waters and associated risk to aquatic invertebrates: a review. (2015, background): “Imidaclopridcontaining products now dominate the insecticide market and are registered for use on more than 140 different crops in 120 countries (Jeschke and Nauen, 2008).”
Systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil): trends, uses, mode of action and metabolites (2014, background): “…the following two decades, neonicotinoids have become the most widely used insecticides of the five major chemical classes (the others being organophosphates, carbamates, phenyl-pyrazoles, and pyrethroids) on the global market (Jeschke and Nauen 2008; Jeschke et al. 2011; Casida and Durkin 2013).”
Neonicotinoid insecticide travels through a soil food chain, disrupting biological control of non-target pests and decreasing soya bean yield (2015, background): “…of nicotine within plants and across natural systems may even suggest clues to the sustainable use of neonicotinoids, but it is important to recognize that effects of neonicotinoids may differ from nicotine because these synthetic compounds are far more toxic to insects (Jeschke & Nauen 2008).”
Bees and pesticide regulation: Lessons from the neonicotinoid experience (2020, background): “Due to their high toxicity to target pests (Jeschke and Nauen, 2008), neonicotinoids are applied at low concentrations compared to other insecticides.”
Environmental fate and exposure; neonicotinoids and fipronil (2014, background): “The invention of neonicotinoids and fipronil heralded a new era of pest management, with a higher versatility in application methods and a high target specificity for invertebrates (Jeschke and Nauen 2008).”
Neuroactive insecticides: targets, selectivity, resistance, and secondary effects. (2013, background): “The breakthrough discovery of the highly insecticidal but photolabile nithiazine with a nitromethylene moiety and no cationic substituent (126) acting as an nAChR agonist (119) led ultimately to photostabilized compounds selective for insects relative to mammals, commercialized as imidacloprid (IMI)”
Chemical Pesticides and Human Health: The Urgent Need for a New Concept in Agriculture (2016, background): “Neonicotinoid pesticides, such as imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and guadipyr, are relatively new and also the most extensively used insecticides (120) that were promoted for their low risk for non-target organisms (121).”
Distribution of trunk-injected 14C-imidacloprid in ash trees and effects on emerald ash borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) adults (2009, background): “Imidacloprid insecticides effectively control many groups of insects, including sap-feeders and beetles (Jeschke and Nauen, 2008).”
