Abstract Sustainable agriculture requires balancing crop yields with the effects of pesticides on non-target organisms, such as bees and other pollinators. Field studies demonstrated that agricultural use neonicotinoid insecticides can negatively affect wild bee species 1,2 , leading to restrictions these compounds 3 . However, besides neonicotinoids, field-based evidence landscape pesticide exposure is lacking. Bees encounter many in landscapes 4–9 this colony growth development any remains...
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is altering the behaviour of nocturnal animals in a manifold ways. Nocturnal invertebrates are particularly affected, due to their fatal attraction ALAN. This selective pressure has potential reduce strength flight-to-light response insects, as shown recently moth species. Here we investigated ground beetles ( Coleoptera : Carabidae ). We compared among (three genera) from highly polluted (HLP) grassland centre Berlin and collected low-polluted area Dark Sky...
