Low concentrations of acetamiprid, deltamethrin, and sulfoxaflor, three commonly used insecticides, adversely affect ant queen survival and egg laying

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Ants are key ecosystem service providers and can serve as important biological control agents in pest management. However, the efects of insecticides on common farmland ant species are poorly understood. We tested the efects of three commonly used insecticides on ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). The tested insecticides were acetamiprid (neonicotinoid; formulated as Mospilan 20 SP), deltamethrin (pyrethroid; formulated as Sanium Ultra), and sulfoxafor (sulflimine; formulated as Gondola). We tested two ant (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) species with diferent colony founding strategies, Lasius niger (Linnaeus, 1758) and Myrmica rubra (Linnaeus, 1758). We sprayed their queens with insecticides at concentrations recommended for use in foliar applications in agriculture, i.e., at 1.25 g L−1 (acetamiprid), 0.6 g L−1 (sulfoxafor), and 0.875 g L−1 (deltamethrin). Further, we diluted the compounds in distilled water and tested them at 10%, 1%, and 0.1% of the feld-recommended concentrations, and used distilled water as a control. We monitored the survival of the queens and the number of eggs laid. All three tested insecticides caused severe lethal and sublethal concentrationdependent efects. Even at concentrations three orders of magnitudes lower than recommended for feld applications, signifcantly lower numbers of eggs were found in the queens’ nests. The extent of the sublethal efects of acetamiprid and sulfoxafor was concentration-dependent and difered between the two ant species. Besides bees and bumblebees, ants represent an important group of hymenopterans that are severely afected even by low concentrations of the tested compounds and therefore should be included in risk assessment schemes.
