Sublethal neonicotinoid insecticide exposure reduces solitary bee reproductive success

Pollinating insects provide crucial and economically important ecosystem services to crops and wild plants, but pollinators, particularly bees, are globally declining as a result of various driving factors, including the prevalent use of pesticides for crop protection. Sublethal pesticide exposure negatively impacts numerous pollinator life‐history traits, but its influence on reproductive success remains largely unknown. Such information is...
