“…Given the strong evolutionary conservation of this enzyme [35], the temporal and spatial activity profiles and distribution of COX in the brains of animals in diverse taxa is most probably similar. Indeed, patterns of COX activity in different honeybee [67,68] and fly [69] brain compartments resemble those we present here for ants. Oecophylla smaragdina major workers tended to have lower total brain metabolic activity than F. subsericea workers, as revealed by COX analyses.…”

“…31) The LD 50 of fipronil to the honeybee Apis mellifera has been reported to be either 4 or 6.2 ng/bee. 1,33) At very low doses (e.g., 0.6 g a.i./ha) fipronil can effectively control adult grasshopper (Pyrgomorpha cognate) outbreaks; application rates of 1-2 g a.i./ha resulted in high mortality rates, with more than 90% of the insects disappearing within 3-10 days. 34) An increase in mortality in a shorter time period was also found with higher doses in the same study.…”

“…[8,9,24,25] whereas potential impacts on other pollinators such as bumblebees are as yet poorly known [13,26]. In addition to honeybees, bumblebees play a major role in providing pollinating services to wild and crop plants [27].…”
