Searching beyond the streetlight: neonicotinoid exposure alters the neurogenomic state of worker honey bees 


ABSTRACT: Neonicotinoid insecticides have been implicated in honey bee declines, with many studies showing that sub-lethal exposure impacts bee behaviors such as foraging, learning and memory. Despite the large number of ecotoxicological studies carried out to date, most focus on a handful of worker phenotypes leading to a ‘streetlight effect’ where the a priori choice of phenotypes to measure may influence the results and conclusions arising from the studies. This bias can be overcome with the use of toxicological transcriptomics, where changes in gene expression can provide a more objective view of how pesticides alter animal physiology. Here, we used RNA sequencing to examine the changes in neurogenomic states of nurse and forager honey bees that were naturally exposed to neonicotinoids in the field and artificially exposed to neonicotinoid in a controlled experiment.
