Glufosinate-P Herbicide Disrupts Gut Microbiota and Metabolism, Driving Osmia excavata Population Decline.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of agricultural and food chemistry"
DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.5c04152
Abstract: Solitary bees face overlooked herbicide risks. Osmia excavata, a key early spring solitary bee, is especially vulnerable during soil-contact nesting, which coincides with peak herbicide use. We evaluated sublethal effects of glufosinate-P on O. excavata.… read more here.
