Toxicological assessment of agrochemicals in bees using machine learning tools

Rodrigo Cupertino Bernardes et al.

Summary: Machine learning shows high accuracy in risk assessments and can be used to identify pesticide contamination. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the sublethal effects of herbicides and insecticides on bee health, revealing the adverse effects of pesticides on bee behavior and physiology.

Hormesis and insects: Effects and interactions in agroecosystems

G. Christopher Cutler et al.

Summary: Insects in agroecosystems face various stressors at low levels, and exposure to mild stress has been found to induce hormetic effects in insects. This review explores the ecological niches of insects in agroecosystems and how hormesis can manifest within and across different insect groups. The mechanistic explanations for hormesis in insects are starting to emerge, but there is a lack of field-based research on this topic. The review also emphasizes the importance of studying the effects of hormesis on species interactions and community structure and functioning, with a focus on understudied guilds such as insect natural enemies, pollinators, and detritivores.

The stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini): a review of the current threats to their survival

Erubiel Toledo-Hernandez et al.

Summary: Pollination by insects is crucial for plant biodiversity, but stingless bee populations are at risk due to human activities. This article reviews studies on the potential negative impacts of human actions on stingless bee populations, finding that habitat loss, agrochemicals, resource competition, climate change, and the introduction of exotic species (including pathogens) are all threats that could lead to declines in stingless bee populations.

Artificial Intelligence-Aided Meta-Analysis of Toxicological Assessment of Agrochemicals in Bees

Rodrigo Cupertino Bernardes et al.

Summary: The lack of consensus on pollinator decline has led to intense debates worldwide. Research suggests that a combination of multiple stressors is the main cause of this decline. The focus on agrochemicals and honey bees may overlook the real risk of anthropogenic stressors on other pollinating insects. Furthermore, there is a lack of published articles exploring the toxicological impact of agrochemicals on bumble bees, solitary bees, and stingless bees.

Pesticide-induced hormesis in arthropods: Towards biological systems

Raul Narciso C. Guedes et al.

Summary: Misconceptions about the importance of pesticide-induced hormesis in arthropods have delayed its recognition. Historically, the focus on lethal effects in experiments overshadowed the consideration of sublethal effects. However, there has been a shift in this trend with the recognition of the significance of pesticide-induced hormesis. This review highlights the potential impacts of hormesis on species interactions and community dynamics, providing a broader understanding beyond its immediate implications for agriculture.

A mixture containing the herbicides Mesotrione and Atrazine imposes toxicological risks on workers of Partamona helleri

Renan dos Santos Araujo et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of a mixture of Mesotrione and Atrazine on food consumption, behavior, and midgut morphology of the stingless bee Partamona helleri. The results showed potential toxicological effects and environmental impacts of the herbicide mix on beneficial insects, including a native bee.

Glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) residues in Brazilian honey

Ana Paula Ferreira de Souza et al.

Summary: The study found residues of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in Brazilian honey, with some samples showing glyphosate levels exceeding the EU maximum residue limit. This indicates a potential impact on bee populations in regions with high losses of bee colonies and frequent use of glyphosate in agriculture.

Is glyphosate toxic to bees? A meta-analytical review

Lucas Battisti et al.

Summary: Glyphosate, originally considered non-toxic to bees, has been shown to negatively impact their survival and behavior even at recommended doses. Meta-analysis of studies on GLY toxicity to bees revealed an increase in bee mortality rates, suggesting its toxic effects.

Non-insecticide pesticide impacts on bees: A review of methods and reported outcomes

Jay M. Iwasaki et al.

Summary: The study found that most fungicides and fungicide combinations have minimal impact on bees, compared to insecticides. However, when interactions occur, fungicide-fungicide combinations are just as harmful as fungicide-insecticide interactions. Herbicides and other groups are more harmful to bees and show similar interactive effects.

Apple pollination is ensured by wild bees when honey bees are drawn away from orchards by a mass co-flowering crop, oilseed rape

Julia Osterman et al.

Summary: The study found that as the percentage of oilseed rape increased in the surrounding landscape, the number of honey bees visiting apple flowers decreased while other wild bee populations increased, indicating that local wild bee populations may compensate for the loss of honey bees in providing effective pollination services for apple. The research underscores the importance of bees in apple pollination and the need for wild bee conservation to ensure pollination insurance and stability of apple crop yields under changing agricultural policies.

Assessment of the Vulnerability to Pesticide Exposures Across Bee Species

Amelie Schmolke et al.

Summary: This study used the vulnerability concept to assess pesticide risk in 10 bee species, including honey bees, bumble bees, and solitary bees. The results indicated that non-Apis bees may be more vulnerable to pesticides than honey bees, highlighting the need for further research to identify suitable surrogate species for higher tier bee risk assessments.
