Abstract

The side effects of the current global use of pesticides on
wildlife, particularly at higher levels of biological organization:
populations, communities and ecosystems, are poorly
understood (Köhler and Triebskorn 2013). Here, we focus
on one of the problematic groups of agrochemicals, the systemic
insecticides fipronil and those of the neonicotinoid
family. The increasing global reliance on the partly prophylactic
use of these persistent and potent neurotoxic systemic
insecticides has raised concerns about their impacts on biodiversity,
ecosystem functioning and ecosystem services provided
by a wide range of affected species and environments.
The present scale of use, combinedwith the properties of these
compounds, has resulted in widespread contamination of agricultural
soils, freshwater resources, wetlands, non-target vegetation and estuarine and coastal marine systems, which
means that many organisms inhabiting these habitats are being
repeatedly and chronically exposed to effective concentrations
of these insecticides.
