Combined lethal toxicity, biochemical responses, and gene expression variations induced by tebuconazole, bifenthrin and their mixture in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Yanhua Wang et al.

Summary: The study revealed that the combination of triazole fungicides and pyrethroid insecticides induced synergistic acute toxicity in zebrafish, affecting their antioxidant system and gene expression. Therefore, the joint effects of pesticides at low concentrations should be prioritized in mixture risk management in aquatic ecosystems. More research is needed to identify the threshold concentrations of realistic pesticide mixtures where synergistic interactions occur.

A mechanism-based approach unveils metabolic routes potentially mediating chlorantraniliprole synergism in honey bees, Apis mellifera L., by azole fungicides

Julian Haas et al.

Summary: The study confirmed the synergistic potential of propiconazole on chlorantraniliprole in acute contact toxicity bioassays, and revealed an interaction of chlorantraniliprole with CYP9Q2 and CYP9Q3. It also showed that several triazole fungicides used in almond orchards were strong inhibitors of honey bee CYP9Q2 and CYP9Q3, which could lead to synergism in acute contact toxicity bioassays.

Analysis of honey bee exposure to multiple pesticide residues in the hive environment

Jinjing Xiao et al.

Summary: A 4-year monitoring survey in China's main honey producing areas revealed that a high percentage of pollen, nectar, beebread, and honey contained detectable levels of pesticides, with pyrethroids being the most influential contributor to potential hazards for honeybee colonies. The study provides insights into the extent of contamination caused by agricultural pesticide use on honeybee colonies.

Nuclear translocation of vitellogenin in the honey bee (Apis mellifera)

Heli Salmela et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that a structural subunit of honey bee Vitellogenin (Vg) can translocate into cell nuclei and bind with DNA. Chromatin immunoprecipitation with sequencing (ChIP-seq) reveals binding sites of Vg at genes influencing immunity and behavior. These findings suggest a new fundamental regulatory role for Vg in the nucleus.

Lenise Silva Carneiro et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the side effects of imidacloprid on the midgut of A. mellifera. The findings showed that imidacloprid can cause cell death in the midgut of honey bee workers, which may affect the digestion and physiological activities of the insects.

Degradation of anthranilic diamide insecticide tetrachlorantraniliprole in water: Kinetics, degradation pathways, product identification and toxicity assessment

Zhou Lu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the behavior and fate of the diamide insecticide TCTP in water under controlled laboratory conditions. The results showed that the degradation of TCTP was mainly influenced by pH and temperature, with photolysis and hydrolysis being the main degradation pathways. Four degradation products were identified, and their toxicity to Daphnia magna was evaluated.

Honey bee colony performance affected by crop diversity and farmland structure: a modeling framework

Juliane Horn et al.

Summary: This study presents a modeling framework for assessing honey bee colony viability in cropping systems, highlighting the importance of crop species identity and diversity in determining forage supply and colony viability. The study emphasizes the need for continuous nectar and pollen supply to maintain honey bee populations and suggests that land-use strategies should aim to avoid prolonged and badly timed forage gaps to support pollination services.

A three-year large scale study on the risk of honey bee colony exposure to blooming sunflowers grown from seeds treated with thiamethoxam and clothianidin neonicotinoids

Jose M. Flores et al.

Summary: Despite the restriction of neonicotinoids in the EU, the debate on their risk to honey bees remains unsettled. A three-year study with 180 honey bee colonies exposed to different treatments of neonicotinoids on sunflower blooms showed initial negative effects, but the impact was not significant in the long term. The variability of colony health and development parameters were influenced more by the hive, replicate, and year than by the treatment factor.

Honey bee Apis mellifera larvae gut microbial and immune, detoxication responses towards flumethrin stress

Longtao Yu et al.

Summary: This study revealed that under flumethrin treatment, the population and diversity of gut microbes in honey bee larvae significantly decreased, but increased with the concentration of flumethrin. Microbes acted as a barrier in the honey bee gut, protecting the larvae to some extent from the stress caused by flumethrin.

Characterization of the ryanodine receptor gene in Encarsia formosa (Gahan) and its expression profile in response to diamide insecticides

Zhuang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study described the cloning of the full-length cDNA of Ryanodine receptor (RyR) in the parasitic wasp Encarsia formosa, and examined its expression profile after exposure to different diamide insecticides. The results showed significant upregulation of EfRyR and its alternative splice forms in response to exposure to diamide insecticides, providing valuable information for integrated pest management (IPM) practices involving the use of E. formosa.

Risk from pesticide mixtures - The gap between risk assessment and reality

Oliver Weisner et al.

Summary: The study found that pesticide mixtures in agricultural crops pose a higher risk to aquatic indicators than predicted, with most regulatory threshold exceedances caused by single pesticides. Pesticide exposure occurred in repeated pulses driven by one to few alternating pesticides, with time intervals shorter than those considered for ecological recovery in environmental risk assessment.

Impact of Chronic Exposure to Sublethal Doses of Glyphosate on Honey Bee Immunity, Gut Microbiota and Infection by Pathogens

Loreley Castelli et al.

Summary: Glyphosate has been shown to have detrimental effects on honey bees, altering their gut microbiota, immune response, and promoting virus replication. Increased immune gene expression may represent a physiological response, but is insufficient to maintain bee health. Overall, the widespread use of glyphosate contributes to a global decline in pollination services.

Inferring pesticide toxicity to honey bees from a field-based feeding study using a colony model and Bayesian inference

Jeffrey M. Minucci et al.

Summary: Honey bees play a crucial role in agricultural pollination but face threats from various stressors, including pesticides. Agent-based models simulating honey bee colony dynamics may help bridge the gap between individual and colony effects of pesticides. The VarroaPop + Pesticide model developed by USEPA and USDA shows promise in simulating colony responses to multiple stressors, providing insights into pesticide toxicity to individual bees.
