Sublethal and transgenerational effects of short-term and chronic exposures to the neonicotinoid nitenpyram on the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii (2016, methodology): “) in 1989 (Elbert et al. 2008) and was only recently commercialized for use in China (Liang et al.”
Reduction in homing flights in the honey bee Apis mellifera after a sublethal dose of neonicotinoid insecticides (2013, background): “The use of neonicotinoids has rapidly expanded since the launch of the first neonicotinoid compound, imidacloprid, in 1991, accounting for a 16.3% share of insecticide use in crop protection by 2005 (Elbert et al., 2008).”
Neonicotinoids in bees: a review on concentrations, side-effects and risk assessment (2012, background): “…insecticides, which include imidacloprid, acetamiprid, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, thiacloprid, dinotefuran and nitenpyram, are an important group of neurotoxins specifically acting as antagonists of the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) (Matsuda et al. 2001; Elbert et al. 2008).”
Systemic insecticides (neonicotinoids and fipronil): trends, uses, mode of action and metabolites (2014, background): “…important crop pests, including Aphidae (aphids), Aleyrodidae (whitefly), Cicadellidae (leafhoppers), Chrysomelidae (among others western corn rootworm), Elateridae (wireworms), Fulgoroidea (planthoppers), Pseudococcidae (mealybugs), and phytophagous mites (Elbert et al. 2008; Jeschke et al. 2011).”
Toxicity and biochemical changes in the honey bee Apis mellifera exposed to four insecticides under laboratory conditions (2015, background): “They are an important group of neurotoxins acting as agonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) of insects (Elbert et al. 2008).”
Combined pesticide exposure severely affects individual- and colony-level traits in bees (2012, methodology): “Overall, we collected data from 259 recognised foragers from 32 colonies (n colonies: Control=7; I=10; LC=8; M=7) making 8751 foraging bouts (median (inter-quartile range) per worker=23(10-44); for criteria used to classify foragers and foraging bouts see Methods).”
Cross-resistance, inheritance and stability of resistance to acetamiprid in cotton whitefly, Bemisia tabaci Genn (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) (2011, background): “It has low toxicity to humans and livestock and little influence on insect natural enemies, fish and bees (Elbert et al., 2008).”
Fatal powdering of bees in flight with particulates of neonicotinoids seed coating and humidity implication (2012, background): “…replaced with the coating of maize seeds (Taylor and Harman 1990) with fipronil (Colliot et al. 1992; Turnblad 1998) and the widespread neonicotinoids (Elbert et al. 2008) which, being systemic, penetrate the seedlings, protecting them from wireworms beetles (Agriotes spp.), cutworms (Agrotis…”
Influence of combined pesticide and parasite exposure on bumblebee colony traits in the laboratory (2014, background): “Neonicotinoids are very efficient in combating insect pests, acting as specific agonists of the insect acetylcholine receptors and disrupting neuromuscular signalling pathways (Elbert et al. 2008; Jeschke et al. 2011).”
Neonicotinoid contamination of global surface waters and associated risk to aquatic invertebrates: a review. (2015, background): “Due to their systemic activity, improved rain fastness, and convenience of use as a seed treatment, neonicotinoids are extremely popular for pest control on a broad range of crops (Elbert et al., 2008;Main et al., 2014; USGS, 2012).”
