Insect and Pesticide Research
Insect and Pesticide Research is a research topic within Insect Science. Science Explorer counts 79k research works in it since 1950. 24.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers focuses on the impact of neonicotinoid insecticides, Varroa mites, viral pathogens, and pesticide exposure on honey bee health, including colony collapse disorder. It also explores the role of gut microbiota, immune system, and pollen nutrition in honey bee health. The environmental risks associated with pesticide use are also a key area of investigation.
