Bumblebee colony development following chronic exposure to field-realistic levels of the neonicotinoid pesticide thiamethoxam under laboratory conditions
Stanley, Dara A.; Raine, Nigel E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-20)Neonicotinoid pesticides are used in agriculture to reduce damage from crop pests. However, beneficial insects such as bees can come into contact with these pesticides when foraging in treated areas, with potential ... -
Bumblebee learning and memory is impaired by chronic exposure to a neonicotinoid pesticide.
Stanley, Dara A.; Smith, Karen E.; Raine, Nigel E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2015-11-16)Bumblebees are exposed to pesticides applied for crop protection while foraging on treated plants, with increasing evidence suggesting that this sublethal exposure has implications for pollinator declines. The challenges ... -
Ecological variation in response to mass-flowering oilseed rape and surrounding landscape composition by members of a cryptic bumblebee complex
Stanley, Dara A.; Knight, Mairi E.; Stout, Jane C. (Public Library of Science, 2013-06-19)The Bombus sensu stricto species complex is a widespread group of cryptic bumblebee species which are important pollinators of many crops and wild plants. These cryptic species have, until now, largely been grouped together ...
