*Effects of Neonicotinoid Insecticides on Agriculturally Important
Beneficial Insects*
By Jennifer Hopwood, Scott Hoffman Black, Mace Vaughan, and Eric Lee-Mäder.
*Beyond the Birds and the Bees* moves the spotlight from the risks
neonicotinoids pose to bees to the impacts of neonicotinoids to
invertebrates such as earthworms or lady beetles. The report provides a
comprehensive review of published articles and pulls together the growing
body of research that demonstrates risks from neonicotinoids to these
beneficial insects. These risks occur particularly in agricultural systems,
but are also found in urban and suburban ornamental landscapes.
This report details potential negative impacts of neonicotinoid
insecticides on important beneficial insects. It also makes recommendations
on how we can better protect important beneficials like beetles and wasps.
