The hidden cost of plant protection through systemic insecticides: Balancing pest control with the safeguarding of non-target pollinators.

Invasive insect pests present escalating threats to agricultural productivity and environmental stability, often necessitating the intensive use of broad-spectrum insecticides that jeopardize non-target organisms and ecosystem services. Endotherapy (i.e. trunk injection) is increasingly proposed as a sustainable altern...

Laboratory evolution enhances resilience of a symbiont yeast and its honeybee host against agrochemical exposure

It is found that the evolved S. bombicola stably colonized the bee gut and ameliorated the negative effect of paclobutrazol on gut microbes, sucrose responsiveness, and learning, demonstrating how laboratory evolution can be used to mitigate the negative impact of chemical pollutants on pollinators.
