Exploring chitin metabolite profiles and sensitivity differences in Collembola species exposed to teflubenzuron by Saúl Fernandes, Diana Ilyaskina, Matty P. Berg, Marja H. Lamoree, Pim E.G. Leonards, Cornelis A.M. van Gestel

“…These pesticides, including teflubenzuron, target chitin synthesis in arthropods but also pose risks to non-target soil fauna like Collembola, which play essential roles in decomposition and nutrient cycling. This study combines traditional toxicity tests with a metabolomic approach to examine the interspecies specific sensitivity of three Collembola species — Sinella curviseta, Ceratophysella denticulata, and Folsomia candida — to teflubenzuron. …”
