As part of Journal of Applied Ecology’s efforts to discuss how real-world impact can be achieved following research, we’re talking to authors about their studies. In this post, Edward S…

Background: Environmental contamination by fluorinated chemicals, in particular chemicals from the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) class, has raised concerns around the globe because of doc...

This report investigates the use of PFAS as an active pesticide substance in the UK, with particular focus on the UK arable sector.

European Commission - Have your say

By Francesco Martini We are living in a biodiversity crisis, with many species shrinking in numbers and at risk of going extinct. To put a stop to, or at least slow down this seemingly inevitable fall...

Studies have struggled to capture how pesticides affect bees outside of a lab.

The European Parliament already rejected the contentious text, which the Commission President described as a “worthy aim.”

Ireland’s pollinator research community came together this month to share their latest updates and research at the annual Irish Pollinator Research Network (IPRN) meeting. Researchers descended on t...

Scientific Reports - Risk assessment requires several bee species to address species-specific sensitivity to insecticides at field-realistic concentrations

Abstract. The honey bee, Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidae), is a model organism for pollinators in risk assessment frameworks globally. The acute toxicity

Inert ingredients are added for purposes other than killing pests and are not required under federal law to be tested for safety or identified on pesticide labels.
