Using insecticidal compounds to elucidate the potential role of neurotransmitters in Lepidoptera pupal ecdysis

Abstract Previously, we reported final-instar lepidopteran larvae exposed to low doses of imidacloprid, clothianidin, and thiamethoxam had arrest in pupal ecdysis, which is a novel adverse outcome for neonicotinoid insecticides. Since neonicotinoids disrupt acetylcholine signaling, we hypothesized t...
