Neonicotinoids and related compounds, such as acetamiprid and flupyradifurone, are widely used in agriculture to control pest insects. Due to their broad mode of action, their effects are not restricted to target species, potentially causing harm to other animals as well. Investigating these effects on non-target organisms is crucial for environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem sustainability. In the...
