Niranjana Krishnan and Maura Hall presented their research at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) in Sacramento this month. Niranjana talked about the risks of insecticide use on monarch butterfly larvae and Maura presented her data on neonicotinoid concentrations in various plant species including milkweed. This work will help inform milkweed placements in the Midwest and give us a better understanding of spatio-temporal variability of neonicotinoid concentrations in pollinator habitat within Midwestern agroecosystems and help inform risk assessments.
