TL;DR: Findings point to neonicotinoids causing a reduced capacity of bee species to establish new populations in the year following exposure, and negatively affect pollinator health under realistic agricultural conditions.

TL;DR: Findings are not inconsistent with the hypothesis derived from epidemiological work and animal studies that organochlorine insecticides produce a direct toxic action on the dopaminergic tracts of the substantia nigra and may contribute to the development of PD in those rendered susceptible by virtue of cytochrome P-450 polymorphism, excessive exposure, or other factors.

TL;DR: In this article, Hoffman et al. assess the risks of chemical exposure to wild mammals and assess the impacts of environmental contamination on the ecology of these animals, using food chain analysis and its role in ecological risk assessment.

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence that diorthosubstituted PCBs may contribute to the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease, and a greater presence of organochlorine insecticides in the PD tissue suggests that this may be in part the explanation for the association between PD and rural living.

TL;DR: It is estimated that a minimum of 11% of the sampled great horned owl population is at risk of being directly killed by SGARs, the first time the potential mortality impact ofSGARs on a raptor population has been estimated.
