The Impact of Pesticides on Flower‐Visiting Insects: A Review with Regard to European Risk Assessment

Abstract: Flower‐visiting insects (FVIs) are an ecologically diverse group of mobile, flying species that should be protected from pesticide effects according to European policy. However, there is an ongoing decline of FVI species, partly caused by agricultural pesticide applications. Therefore, the risk assessment framework needs to be improved. We synthesized the peer‐reviewed literature on FVI groups and their ecology, habitat, exposure to pesticides, and subsequent effects. The results show that FVIs are far more di… Show more

“…Characterizing risks of foliar insecticides to nonmigratory monarch populations in agricultural ecosystems requires landscape‐scale analyses (Uhl and Brühl 2019). Adult monarchs are vagile (Zalucki et al 2016), which requires that attributes of their movement and reproductive behavior be integrated with spatial and temporal heterogeneity of monarch breeding habitat, agricultural fields, pastures, rural road rights‐of‐way, weather conditions, and pest pressure (Grant and Bradbury 2019).…”

“…We are developing a landscape‐scale approach (Grant and Bradbury 2019; Uhl and Brühl 2019) to test the hypothesis that conservation benefits of establishing monarch breeding habitat in close proximity to maize and soybean fields will outweigh the risks of increased insecticide exposure. However, the current paucity of insecticide toxicity data precludes the means to assess field‐scale and landscape‐scale mortality rates.…”

“…In the 2020 Species Status Assessment (USFWS 2020), the USFWS concluded monarch exposure to insecticides in agricultural landscapes could be a threat to population recovery due to reduced survival and development. Due to similar concerns, the Monarch Pollinator resource management decisions of this nature require spatially explicit landscape-scale assessments (Uhl and Brühl 2019;Topping et al 2020). A landscapescale analysis needs to account for the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of monarch breeding habitat patches, agricultural fields, pastures, rural road rights-of-ways, weather conditions, pest pressure and likely insecticide use patterns, as well as the susceptibility of different monarch life stages to insecticide exposure at varying distances from treated crop fields (Grant and Bradbury 2019;Krishnan et al 2020).…”

“…Many papers also concern the safety of performing chemical plant protection treatments, including operator safety (Matthews 2008;Feola and Binder 2010;Damalas and Abdollahzadeh 2016). Declines in the number and diversity of insects have focused attention on the role of pesticides and their impact on health, including honeybees (Zawislak et al 2019;Prado et al 2019;Uhl and Brühl 2019;Crenna et al 2020). A lot of studies show that bees are exposed to pesticides, although there are differences in sensitivity between bee species (Hladik et al 2016;Woodcock et al 2017;Arena and Sgolastra 2014).…”
