Healthy Pollinators: Evaluating Pesticides with Molecular Medicine Approaches
Federico López‐Osorio, Yannick Wurm
Abstract
Pollinators have been declining worldwide, and pesticides have contributed to these declines. High-resolution approaches from molecular medicine can provide unparalleled insight into organismal physiology and health. Applying these approaches to pollinators can significantly improve the efficiency and sensitivity of pesticide research and evaluation, and thus the sustainability of modern agriculture.
